Survey Reveals What Mothers Really Want for Mother’s Day

Wanting to make Mom, or your wife, really happy this Mother’s Day? For those struggling to come up with some good Mother’s day gift and other ideas, a new survey of mom’s from plumdistrict.com may have the answers.

The Mother’s Day survey results revealed what Mom is really looking for on Mother’s Day. The answers ranged from a delicious brunch, to a pampering massage, or a special zoo outing with the kids. Essentially it appears that, “Mom wants the perfect blend of time for herself and time with her family,” the survey showed.

Plum District (www.plumdistrict.com) is one of the internet’s leading daily offers site for moms, by moms. The company surveyed its member network, of over 1 million subscribers, in the study in an effort to uncover what Mom really wants on Mother’s Day.

Here are some of the top things that Mothers want for Mother’s Day based on the survey:

– 75 percent claim they would prefer a handmade card over a necklace from Tiffany & Co.®
– Two thirds prefer to not pick out their own gift
– 54 percent would choose to spend quality time with their own mother versus 46 percent who would have her babysit the kids

“Some of the things we discovered in our survey were pretty surprising to us, like the fact that only 56 percent of husbands/significant others always remember Mother’s Day,” says Megan Gardner, CEO of Plum District. “What didn’t surprise us is that at the end of the day, moms might crave some ‘me’ time, but their families will always rank first.”

What sort of “me” time is Mom after?

– Eight out of ten moms would choose to sleep in versus a sunrise breakfast with the kids
– One third of moms secretly want the day to themselves
– 52 percent would use an hour to themselves for a massage, while the other 48 percent would go on a bike ride

This year, as part of its Month of Mom (M.O.M.) promotion, Plum District will feature special offers throughout the entire month of May that allow Mom to create and enjoy her holiday just the way she wants it.
