A survey for Mother's Day found the #1 thing moms want this year is a gift card. Followed by flowers, personal care items, housewares, and clothing.
1. Gift cards. The top cards they want are for online retailers . . . big box stores . . . coffee . . . clothing . . . and future spa or beauty treatments.
2. Flowers.
3. Personal care items.
4. Housewares. Including small appliances and decorative stuff.
5. Clothing.
6. Tickets to an event. Just make sure it's well into the future.
7. Jewelry.
8. Books.
"A nice meal at a restaurant" didn't make the list this year, for obvious reasons.
The poll also found moms with young kids OVERWHELMINGLY prefer gift cards. 87% of moms with newborns said that's what they want.
