Superdrug Places Mother's Day Reminder Above Durex Lube

Superdrug Places Mother's Day Reminder Above Durex Lube

It's not the most traditional of gifts...

In the lead up to Mother's Day, we're all grateful for any reminder of the actual date - anything that'll ultimately steer you away from seeing pure disappointment on the face of the poor woman who carried you for nine months, right?

There's loads of choice out there when it comes to treating your beloved mother - chocolates, flowers, maybe some jewellery if you're feeling flush. But as we all know, nothing says 'thanks mum' quite like flavoured lube.

Mother's Day is on 31st March this year.

Well, according to this Superdrug store in Scotland, that's the perfect way to show your appreciation for everything your mum has done for you.

The oddly placed sign was sitting directly above a shelf fully shocked with Durex lube, vibrators and condoms - with a whole variety of weirdly inappropriate options to... erm, please your mum.

The Stirling store also kindly pointed out some bargains for those feeling a bit out of pocket, with their own brand 'pleasure gels' going for a very reasonable two for £6. Bargain.

Making sure shoppers are aware that the big day is Sunday 31 March, the store is giving customers the option to purchase 'pleasure gels' of all manner, including two-in-one sensual massage oils scented with Ylang Ylang and eucalyptus.

There are also lubricants including the 'real feel' Durex Play and all natural and water based intimate gel, ideal for use with 'toys', all in various flavours including strawberry and cherry.

Superdrug offer a full range of lubricants.

Although it's not what we'd exactly describe as a traditional way to thank your dear old mum, it's certainly thinking outside the box, and for that we can only commend them.

Superdrug told LADBible: "We're always looking to offer our customers new and interesting gifting suggestions.

"This time round however a Mother's Day suggestion was mistakenly placed in the wrong aisle! We've now contacted the store and asked them to move the sign closer to other gifting ideas."

All's well that ends well then, eh?

If you're stuck for a card to go with your present, though, why not consider this range of hilarious (or, depending on your point of view, deeply offensive) cards?

If your mum can take a joke, Poundland has you covered. One lovely design says: "Happy Mother's Day. I promise to put you in the BEST nursing home - no matter how far away it is."

Another tongue-in-cheek card reads: "Thanks for wiping my bum. It won't be long before I'm returning the favour," while another pits your parents against each other, saying: "You're very nearly my favourite parent."

If you want to get your mum a slightly more conventional Mother's Day gift, Superdrug also offers a whole range of perfumes, cosmetics and skin care, but there's no judgement from us if you opt for something a bit more 'intimate'.
