Moms do practically everything for us, from when we’re newborn babes to well into adulthood. And as much as we’d like to think the sheer enjoyment of our company is enough to repay for them for the late nights, homework help, and hours on the phone counseling us through our worst moments, we all know, deep down, mom deserves a thoughtful gift in return once in while. Not just on birthdays and Mother’s Day, though those are greatly appreciated. And of course, what better gift is there than the gift of laughter? These funny and adorable gifts are designed for moms who love to crack jokes and show off their senses of humor. Frankly, that’s why we love them.
