Any time I tell my husband something is nice or pretty, he thinks that means I want it.

To bee or not to bee..

Too funny...reminds me of the time when I was 16y/o, and I bought a t-shirt with a cherub on it, for no other reason then I thought it was cute. Well to my mom, that must surely mean I not only like "angels", but I LOVE collecting them. Something she happily told EVERYONE in my family when they asked for gift ideas. Honest to god, for the next 8 years or so, that's all I got for Christmas, and my Birthday. At one point, there was not an "angel themed" product on the market that I didn't own. If it had a human like figure with wings, then I had at least one in a box somewhere. Watches, clothes, books, towels, paper, posters, and jewelry...oh lord, the damn JEWELRY, etc!!! By the third year, I didn't have the heart to tell anyone the truth. In other words, long story short, she needs to nip this in the bud real quick, that, or she's gonna have to find a way to make peace with black, and yellow home furnishings.

This happened to me a few years ago. I bought a dolphin wind chime for a friend’s birthday. My mother must have thought I’d bought it for me but said nothing. A couple of months later she and dad went to Spain on holiday. They came back grinning saying we got you some lovely things for you. They presented me with a dolphin watch a dolphin necklace and a few other dolphin related items. FYI I am not into dolphins AT ALL.

This is so my mom. Now I'm careful what I mention to her 😅

Now you almost gots a hobby.

That's amazing. Be thankful that your mum loves you so much.

and she remembers...

We have all been this mom. When you are buying fir someone really challenging who may not have a hobby. Then they say they like something and you just latch onto to it.

Looks like a great present! Loads of useful stuff

I can't beelieve the humor she has!

This is so sweet.

Your mom has good sense of humor

This is such a damn good gift though.

What, no "The Secret Life of Bees?"

At least your mom cares enough to try! Every year my mom pulls the same, "Oh you know we are broke," ( they aren't- they have no mortgage and rent coming in from another property). Meanwhile my husband and I always go out of our way to try to get them stuff they would like/use...

This is sweet and thoughtful

😂😂😂😂

Next time tell her boxes of hundred dollar bills are lovely.

So sweet of her.

i took in some cats and i thought to myself, "watch this, people will buy me cat stuff now" I was right, Cat mug, cat shirt, on and on!!! lol

If only Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone had come out this year.

This happens. A friend had a butterfly room because we all heard her, on an outing, say how much she loved butterflies, so all of us bought her something butterfly related for her birthday! I said I loved frogs, but that didn't pan out so well :( Novelty frog soap has no charm, not do pictures of frogs actually 'decorate' a room, but the frog wind chime tinkles merrily, and the glitzy toad brooch is nice too.

I'd be thrilled lol (as a yank, I love those egg cups)

Needs hive.

Those are still pretty cute 🙃

We pounce on hints!

Dam. They love bees way to much. They ARE cute but, f that's a lot of stuff with bee in/on it. wow.

I’ll say it again, Give bees a chance.

That observation had a sting in its tail.

I love this. And yes, bees are lovely.

At least she didn’t buy you a hive

Well, at least Castiel will like this.

Literally this TikTok tho :P https://www.tiktok.com/@nicoleciravolo/video/6910343121712794886

Bless her.

Hahahaha my mother would have totally done that.

That might mean that she has no idea what you actually like, which is partly your fault. That stuff does look tasteful, though! Good, usable items and not ugly knickknacks.

I'm a listener too
