Mother's Day is a celebration honouring the mother of the family, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. "With spring in full bloom, Americans are looking forward to splurging on their mothers and retailers are prepared to offer a variety of options that will allow consumers to find the flawless gift for the occasion".
However, I'm inherently wary of the assumption that all or even most mothers want nothing more than a late-morning all-you-can-eat buffet. The first suggestion for a Mother's Day in America was made by Julia Ward Howe (lyricist of the The Battle Hymn of the Republic).
A whole 40 percent of moms will hide their true feelings about a gift they get from their kids, the survey determined.
Honestly, Mom just wants to stay in bed.
Make Mother's Day a Mother's Day Off. Partners and older children can handle the day-to-day chores like feeding everyone, loading the dishwasher or checking over homework for the day, to free Mom up for some blissful "me time".
"You know, even though my Mom worked around flowers every day, she still loved getting flowers on special days", Hutchison said. But when it comes to his wife, who also works in the shop, he said they like to do something different for Mother's Day.
According to National Geographic, the day "wasn't to celebrate all mothers".

Around the world, the word we use to call the woman we honor on Mother's Day starts with the letter "m". When she created Mother's Day, she wanted it to be a singular possessive holiday because each family is celebrating their mother, not all mothers. These diverse types of mothers are often shown on television.
According to the National Retail Federation, Americans will spend an average of $186.39 on Mom this year, all in an effort to get her the ideal gift.
Planning to buy jewelry for Mom?
Keep reading to learn about eight other countries' Mother's Day festivities. Restaurants are super busy on Mother's Day, so you might have to wait for a table. While many states, towns, and churches had adopted the holiday by 1912, it took another two years before President Woodrow Wilson officially designated the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. Her initiative did reinstate an annual Mothers' Day but only in Boston, Massachusetts.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms, stepmoms, grandmas, aunts, and every mother figure in between!
And while it is by no means an unforgivable sin to show your love and appreciation with a material gift - maybe mom really needs a new blender this year and she just hasn't been able to justify the purchase herself - make sure to write a note with it telling her that you miss her, that you're thankful for what she's done for you, and that she is loved.
