Well, f*** all, Mother's Day 2012 is coming up

It’s that time again, time to appease the woman who carried you for nine months/chose you from the orphanage and otherwise wore her fingers to the bone, just so you could have a better life, you ungrateful wretch. Get her a gift, and make it a good one so she’ll know didn’t waste her figure and youth on nothing.

All kidding aside, a special day is coming up and it’s an occasion to express true gratitude and love for that most special of all ladies. Here are some home gadget gift ideas for every budget.

A purse hook (around $10). Mom will wonder how she lived without it. It’s a decorative portable hook that allows her to hang her purse off the edge of a table, desk, etc. Every time she uses it, she’ll remember what a smart child she raised.

Laser parking helper (around $20). This goes on the wall of the garage and plugs into an outlet. When Mom pulls her car in, the friendly red dot on her dashboard will show when she’s parked perfectly. Fun, useful and eliminates parking frustration.

Hot water pot (from $30 to $170). This very simple device keeps a pot of water at near boiling, and ready to use at any time. If Mom’s a tea drinker, she’ll enjoy this time-saving luxury. The Rolls Royce of hot water pots is the Zojirushi hybrid.

Self-cleaning cat toilet ($270). If your mother has a cat, you’ll be a hero if you give her this. This is a truly self-cleaning litterbox. It attaches to the water supply and to the toilet. The cat uses the box, then the box scoops itself, washes the plastic litter and blow dries it. All nastiness drains into the toilet. Installation is simple, which is nice for you because you are going to install it for her, right?
