I found some really cool information on Everything Mother’s Day! From what NOT to give, to gift ideas and inspirational stories! Here is a bit of information that should be taken into consideration when looking for that perfect Mother’s Day gift!
Give household and garden items to mom this Mother’s Day at your own risk! That’s the message in a new poll. The poll, sponsored by the leading online personal gift service, WishClick, reveals that moms want to be showered with jewelry and flowers, a day off from household chores and quality time with their family.
WishClick asked 500 U.S. moms to name their best and worst Mother’s Day gifts ever, and also indicate the gift they most wish for this year.
Worst Mother’s Day Gifts Ever
The poll reveals insensitive and badly thought-out gifts that have made moms cringe, including carpet cleaner, a thigh-master, a night out at a husband’s favorite restaurant and a card that read, “reupholster the chair in the master bedroom.”
Worst gifts ever, according to U.S. moms, were:
1. Kitchen appliances, garden tools and cleaning supplies — 12%
2. Dead and poorly arranged flowers — 5%
3. Cookie, candy and cakes — 4%
According to the poll, moms care most that loved ones remember their special day. Fifteen percent of moms said that their worst gift ever was when their families forgot Mother’s Day altogether. And the poll demonstrates that moms will appreciate most gifts — a reassuring 46% said that anything their kids give them is a good gift.
Best Mother’s Day Gifts Ever
Apparently surprising things can make moms happy. Tickets to a Cleveland Indians game and a ride-on lawn mower were highlighted by two moms as their best gifts ever. One mother was delighted when her family gave her a monetary tip one year.
According to the poll, best gifts ever were:
1. Jewelry — 24%
2. Home and school-made cards — 18%, and gifts — 17%
3. Help with chores, or a day of rest — 5%
4. Spa trips and beauty products — 4%
Mother’s Day Wish List
Moms are wishing for many different things this Mother’s Day, from hugs and kisses to furniture, but the most popular wishes are for a little luxury and pampering, to escape the housework and for quality time.
Some moms are aiming high. Four percent would love a new car, others a mansion or a cruise. One mom wants to be “Queen for a day.” And others dream of less conventional gifts — a shredder, a son’s report card with “A’s” and “B’s” on it, and sex.
Top of this year’s Mother’s Day Wish List are:
1. Help with chores — 14%
2. Jewelry — 11%
3. Quality family time — 8%
4. Dinner out, or breakfast in bed — 7%
5. Flowers — 5%
6. A trip — 5%
7. Spa and perfume products — 4%
