27 Weird Mother's Day Gifts That Your Mom Would Be Nuts Not To Love

There's something for every kind of strange mother, including kitty ear headphones, a portable urinal and bath products inspired by the movie, "Shrek."

Your mom is there for you always, and you really only need to return the favor one day out of the year.

But there is a lot of pressure to get mom a gift that she will like and, more importantly, that shows you get her as a person, not just as a parental figure.

On top of that is the pesky little fact that, like most people, your mom is probably a closet weirdo.

Luckily for you and your mom, HuffPost Weird News has once again combed the world looking for gifts that will surely appeal to her, whether its headphones with kitty ears, a portable urinal or bath products inspired by the movie, Shrek.

You dont have to thank us.

Fluffy Cat Hoodie

Claw Hose Holder
Wrapping up a hose isn't supposed to be that scary, but putting it on a gruesome-looking claw will add a touch of Halloween to your Mother's Day festiviities.
Ice Barrel
Sometimes, Mom just wants to chill. And if "chilling" is what really matters, why not do it in an ice barrel?
Gnomes-Be-Gone With Gnome

"Oh, how wonderful! These have such a pretty design. Is it a flower of some sort?"
"Sorta!"

Using augmented reality and her smartphone, Mom will be able to make virtual hummingbirds and butterflies magically appear. Take that normal bracelet!
Crunch Cup
As great as your mom is, she probably didn't solve the biggest food mystery of our time: the proper crunch-to-liquid ratio when eating cereal. She can't do everything so solving that riddle fell to the Crunch Cup, a technological marvel that solves the soggy cereal dilemma by keeping cereal and milk apart until the exact moment the two items are about to go into the mouth. Science marches on.

Pasta-Inspired Pajamas

Cannabis Perfume
"Mom, remember how you kept asking about that strange herby smell from my room late at night?"
"Yes, it was very strange."
"Well, yeah, but there's an explanation. I got you some perfume that is scented like cannabis."
"Cannabis?"
"Yes, do you like the smell?"

"The dispensary?"
"Yes! Well, thank you!"
Portable Urinal For Women
When Mom's gotta go, she's gotta go. This portable urinal can work in a pinch. Yay convenience!
Stemless Wine Chiller
Mom may love a glass of wine on a warm sunny day, but eventually it gets warm, requiring, ugh, another trip to the fridge or watering down the drink with cubes. These stemless wine glass chillers keep her glass cool even if the conversation gets heated.
Duracell Power Stations
Here's the issue: Your mom spends so much time posting conspiracy theories online that her phone constantly dies. This Duracell Power Station, helpfully designed like a giant battery, will make sure all her devices stay charged so she can continue to communicate with her buddies in QAnon. Aren't you a great kid?
