4 Gifts Your Mother Most Wants For A Mother's Day Gift

The Four Mother’s Day Gifts Your Mother Most Wants From You
(and it’s not flowers, jewelry or clothing!)
by Mary Marcdante



More than 150 million greeting cards are exchanged every Mother’s Day.

It’s the number one gift given to mothers followed by flowers, plants, clothing and jewelry. All the major long-distance companies say Mother’s Day is their busiest day of the year. They log 130 million calls compared to a normal Sunday of 90 million. When the U.S. Postal Service did a poll last year, 62 percent of the survey group said they normally visit their mom on Mother’s Day.

Think about all the different ways you’ve appreciated your mother over the years. What kind of gifts have you given her? Preprinted cards? Flowers? Candy? Jewelry? Clothing? I’m sure your mother enjoyed them, but have you ever wondered what she’d buy herself under the same circumstances?

In a recent national retailers' poll of mothers, 49 percent of mothers expected flowers; 13 percent said they wanted them. It’s presence, not presents, that count.

All of the mothers I interviewed said the flowers and candy and other material gifts were nice, but the gift of spending time with them had the most lasting memory. There were four types of appreciation mothers said they wanted most:

  • Time

  •  Kindness in words and action

  • Captured memories

  • Services that improve the quality of her life
