Today, my mom was feeling down, so I decided to buy her a gift. Knowing she likes lighthouses, I bought her a tiny one that plugs in and lights up. I brought it home, plugged it in, and when she saw me with it, she said, "Wipe that smirk off your face and get that junk out of here." FML

I think she just watched the movie The Island. It ruined her symbolic lighthouse dreams.

"No good deed goes unpunished" Bet on some level she appreciated your gesture.

Normally when people are down they are grouchy and don't realize what they've missed until after they get in a better mood. You always hurt the ones you love most and she just took it out on you. Wait until she's in a better mood and give it to her and explain everything. Hopefully she'll see her mistake and apologize and like your gift. If not, then I'm sorry. Take it back and just keep your distance next time or just talk to her. Good luck OP and I'm sorry.

That was kinda rude of your mom but in her defense, I'm very picky about the decor in my house too. Maybe her taste in art (or what haves) are very different.

Ya except Noor specified right in the FML that her mom "loves lighthouses"

55- I love pandas, but that doesn't mean I want panda sculptures all over my house. Maybe OP's mom just loves lighthouses, but doesn't exactly want one. :P

Nice gesture....shame your mother didn't like it, you could act hurt and play the Guilt Trip card or if you have the recipt and packaging get a refund.
