And in case you’re still struggling for that last minute gift, or are already thinking ahead to next year because you’ve sworn to never get this far behind again (Warning: this is a lot like swearing in the morning that you’ll never drink again… it will pass) comes this helpful article describing the do’s and don’ts for buying Mom lingerie.

What surprised me most is that there are apparently “do’s”. It never occurred to me that there was any correct way, or even any possibly non-creepy motivation for buying Mom intimates. Seriously, if you need to be told not to buy your mom thongs or g-strings… you’ve got some Oedipal issues to work out.
