1. Random yard decor
Your options are nearly endless here. There are so many comical figurines you can get your mom for the yard.
You could go with the classic gnome for a quirky Mother’s Day gift, but you could also get other statues, shaped like an animal, perhaps.
If your mom spends a lot of time tending to her outdoor plants, pair your funny figurine with a goofy watering can, such as one shaped like an elephant, a turtle or even a pig.

2. Goofy bookends
Is your mom a big bookworm? If so, and she has a large book collection, get her bookends for Mother’s Day — but not just any bookends, of course.

A quick scroll on Amazon will bring you tons of funny bookends you can gift this May.
You could get two ducks, seemingly struggling to hold the books into place; astronaut figurines pushing the books together; or even a Yoda bookend that provides the illusion that the character is using the force to hold the books into place.
3. Uniquely shaped kitchen supplies
Cooking can feel like a chore, but it will be a lot more fun with goofy supplies.
Funny kitchen supplies you can find right on Amazon include a sponge holder that’s shaped like a frog; a spoon holder shaped like a crab; toaster tongs shaped like a bunny; and lightsaber chopsticks.
On the same site, you can also find items that will make the sometimes troubling task of separating egg whites from the yolk fun. For example, an egg separator shaped like a basketball hoop.

4. Funny mug
Instead of jewelry or breakfast in bed, perhaps your mom would enjoy a new mug for her cup of coffee in the morning or afternoon tea.

However, do not just purchase a plain, mundane coffee mug. Add a little spice to your Mother’s Day gift by getting your mom a mug that will make her laugh or smile every time she drinks from it.
If you want to create your mug with your own joke, color and custom shape, use websites such as Etsy to design the perfect and hilarious Mother’s Day coffee mug.
5. Board game
Instead of an individual item that only your mom can enjoy, consider purchasing an engaging and funny family-friendly board game that your whole family will enjoy playing together.
If your mom loves board games, this will be the perfect route to take; however, finding the right board is essential.

6. Quirky socks
Another enjoyable yet affordable gift for your mom on Mother’s Day is a pair of hilarious but comfortable socks.
Amazon and Etsy are the perfect areas of the internet to search for the pair that will best suit your mom.
Typically, a pair of quirky socks sell for around $10-$15 before shipping and include phrases at the bottom of the socks that say, for example, “If you can read this, mom is off duty.”
Websites such as Etsy also allow you to design your own pair of socks with unique phrases and colors that will be personalized directly for the mom in your life.
