Fun Gift Ideas for Mum's Who Are Impossible to Shop For (But You Love Them Anyway)
We all know mums can be impossible to shop for—they need so little to be content. As long as the kids are fed and the laundry room doesn’t resemble the David Jones women’s section after a Boxing Day sale, they’re happy. With this in mind, we reckon this Mother's Day, give her something to laugh about other than your taste in partners or her wardrobe choices from the 80s!
1. An Inappropriate Gift Co Favourite, a mug! A useful, beautiful, and hilarious addition to a gift hamper or simply handed to the Queen of Domestic Duties, filled with coffee! 
2. Everything Farking Hurts! The Inappropriate Gift Co.'s microwavable hug that swears as much as she wants to is the perfect gift for Mum this Mother's Day. She's been carrying the weight of the world for as many years as you've been alive, help ease the pain with the “Everything Fucking Aches” Wheat Pack. Handmade by a beautiful Aussie mumma!
3. Because, as beautiful as parenting is…occasionally it needs a little pharmaceutical help.
If your mum has her vitamins, supplements, and mystery capsules lined up like a mini pharmacy every morning, she might just fall in love with this next gift idea.
Perfect for mums on the go, whether she's jet-setting across the globe or just heading to Yoga and the supermarket, this cheeky medicine bag keeps all her essentials in one place, with a side of humour. Stylish, practical, and a little bit sweary… just like her.
4. Give Mum the morning off and serve her a delicious breakfast with a side of humour (and a big cup of coffee!) We love The Inappropriate Gift Co's funny egg moulds, because how many times has mum served up boobies for breakfast!! My how the tables have turned!
5. If the last thing on your mum's wish list is time off kitchen duties because cooking is her happy place, treat her to some fun kitchen accessories this Mother’s Day. A cheeky tea towel or a funny apron is a playful way to add a little laughter to her daily routine and remind her (every time she whips up something delicious) that she raised some pretty awesome kids with a great sense of humour.
6. We can joke all we like about leaving Mum the heck alone, but when it comes down to it, there’s no greater gift this Mother’s Day than quality time as a family. So don’t leave her in peace all day, put together a cheese board, crack open a bottle of wine, and settle in for a board game session. Laugh, snack, sip, and enjoy some proper time together. That’s the good stuff she’ll truly appreciate.
7. Finally, Mum will always desire some quiet time, as mentioned, not all day, but somewhere in her day, or week...life...she would appreciate an hour of solitude. Indulge this desire with something relaxing that she can do on her own to bring about some peace and relaxation! 
So, this Mother’s Day, skip the cliché flowers and give Mum something that’ll actually make her laugh out loud. Whether it’s a cheeky mug, a sweary wheat pack, or a boob-shaped egg breakfast, a little humour makes the perfect gift. After all, if she survived your teenage years, she’s earned a gift that’s equal parts hilarious and heartfelt.

How to Choose a Gift for the Dad Who Says “I Don’t Want Anything”
Dads can be notoriously hard to buy for, mostly because they either already have everything or genuinely want nothing except to be left alone. Sure, if money were no object, you could gift him a flame-throwing 10-burner BBQ fit for a caveman king. But if the funds are low and the appreciation is high, go for something that’ll make him laugh and remind him he’s loved and to say thank you for the blocked toilet repairs and 2am nightclub picks even though you're a "functioning" adult.
