The Mother’s Day 2016 Top Freebies & Discounts for Food, Restaurants and Retailers; Plus Online Deals Galore
Buying a Mother's Day gift doesn't mean you have to break the bank.
Digital commerce firm SUMO Heavy found Americans averaged $163 per year on Mother's Day gifts, dating back to 2014. Nearly one-third of sales came from online purchases, 24 percent of which came through mobile devices.
Going a little deeper into the study, researchers found $4 billion went to special outings, followed by jewelry ($3.9 billion) and flowers ($2.5 billion). Moms, however, said their preferred gifts are mother's day cards, a cooked dinner, and something homemade.
But this seems like a small offering for a woman who's done so much. She deserves the jewelry, flowers, and then some. In the likelihood that you're still looking for that perfect Mother's Day gift, dozens of retailers and restaurants across the country have designated special discounts for all your last-minute needs.
