My mom called my mother’s day gift cheap and bad quality does it really look that way?

[xJayleenx]

This is what I got her: 1.

2.

I got her only two things because on her birthday I spent so much money and bought her expensive makeup and stuff. I thought that she would like it knowing that she likes butterflies. I told my dad that she called my gift bad quality and cheap and he’s just lying to me telling me that she’s actually happy or just kidding I know her she’s not and her not being happy with a present isn’t new she could sometimes be a hard person to satisfy when you get her gifts but if you don’t even try she’ll get pissed.

She ended up saying thank you and that she liked it

Goddamn that's rude. Basic etiquette please! It definitely doesn't look low quality. I don't know if it's real brass or just another colored metal but the color works well with the mirror, and the wings let the makeup rest in an interesting shape. Plus, if it's real brass, brass is an antiseptic metal, it constantly kills a lot of pathogens that touch it, so just the knowledge of being 'cleaner' is nice too.

I'll say this, I'm a guy and have never used makeup. But if someone gifted me this, they would sit out with my other gifts from over the years. Some could be argued as "low quality" items but it's the thought that counts. Really is what counts the most.

That's what happens when you are materialistic. All you rich people care about is overspending on garbage. But what your mother said is bad.

[xJayleenx]

I've never been rich I don’t know why my mom has expensive taste she doesn’t even work

[Paul09]

So who's BMW is that?

[Smashingdoozy]

Um yeah. Those are like $10 on Amazon, and not regulated makeup (there's no knowing what is actually in it, some unregulated makeups have been known to contain animal waste). You can get much better for the same price and actually have pigment pay off.

For her bday I bought her expensive skin care makeup and then i took her to sephora to by her charoltte tilbury and stuff I also took her out for expensive dinner and icecream and I spent over 300 dollars on her which waa whh I stopped myself from buying her expensive stuff this time. I know the eyeshadow’s cheap but it’s so pretty and the idea is so unique and she usually loves butterflies

[Smashingdoozy]

I understand, but she is technically right. I wouldn't recommend she puts it on her face but now it's just a weird paperweight.

[xJayleenx]

I looked at the reviews before buying them and they were good. I don’t think it’s bad quality at all especially for that price and it’s style in unique

[Smashingdoozy]

Reviews don't really mean anything when it comes to unbranded makeup. People can say it's good. But it's still not a regulated product.

[Curly1986]

I think that is a really hurtful thing to say. I would never hurt my child's feeling like that whether I liked the gift or not. You should not feel bad. You did a lovely thing for your mum, even if she doesn't realise it. X

[jennifer_bloom]

I think your mother is judging you by her 40-60 year old standard and not by a 20 year old standard. Your gift was super good and you should take pride in that.

[Mishan97]

That’s really mean of her tbh. I think the present looks beautiful and at the end of the day it’s the thought that counts not how much money you spent. Kind of ungrateful for ur mom to make those commebts

[mark000h]

It looks really nice and thoughtful. Some people are just unappreciative. 😔

[Sour-rose]

She betta' say thank you. If it ain't for my aunt coming over with mother's day gifts, I wouldn't get her a damn thing.

[josephinelcajon]

I dont care if it was a hand made card you do not judge any gift this way!

[Iron_Man]

How much did you spend in total on it it does kinda look like drugstore gifts

[Iron_Man]

I like the kind of gifts where you can join the gym membership or have a spa day and do something real interesting or take somebody on a vacation

[xJayleenx]

They don’t sell these in drugstores it was my first time seeing these

[Iron_Man]

Oh ok

[Iron_Man]

I know you want me to always be honest with you so we can work on things that need to be improved but you overall do pretty well. I know you’re not looking for a yes-man

[Daniela1982]

Well no wonder. She probably thought it was a gag gift. It says it right on the compact.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I'm sorry your mom feels this way that is sad for sure but my late mom was always happy with what I bought her for Mother's Day

[TrueConfection]

I think it's beautiful and it looks like there was a lot of thought put into it.

[Andres77]

Sigh...😞
You already know how I feel about your mom.
😠😠😠

[PortraitOfTerd]

lol i dont even get my mum a mothers day gift, and never call her or see her... your mums ungrateful lol

[anon1903]

That's so cute! I wish I were your mom. And I don't even wear makeup.

[Likes2drive]

It looks like a nice gift to me and no matter what it is she should never say something like that

[SunnyCaliGirl]

That’s just rude of your mom and your mom and no respect for your gift.

[TallAnon]

No, but even if it was, there's no need to be rude about it. I would never give her a gift again.

[TrillXHippy]

I don’t see anything wrong with those gifts that you went out of your way to get

[ArtemisSilver]

Next time give her a self help book.

[Wise4myage]

No, not at all. And what a mean thing to say.

[msc545]

Never buy her anything again for any reason.

[Bklynbadboy12]

I love it. It's super cute
