What are you spending on mom?
Mother’s Day is Sunday. Have you started thinking of what gift you'll buy for your mom?
The National Retail Federation says that you won’t be spending as much as last year. Though not a huge decrease, consumers will spend about $138.63 on average this year, compared with $139.14 last year, based on an NRF survey.
“Consumers will be very cautious with their wallets this Mother’s Day, heeding mom’s advice that she really doesn’t need much,” said Phil Rist with BIGresearch, which conducts the survey for NRF. “Gas prices and other economic issues will still be at the forefront of people’s minds as they shop around for the perfect gift for mom.”
Share your ideas for Mothers’ Day gifts if you’re already thinking of them. I would tell what I’ve bought for my mom, but she sometimes reads this blog, so I could ruin the surprise.
