2011 Mother’s Day Spending [infographic]

This Mother’s Day, Mom is getting pampered! According to data from the NRF (National Retail Federation), husbands and family members across the country plan to spoil mom a bit, and spending is expected to jump almost 11% from last year. NRF President Matthew Shay summed it up well saying, “This Mother’s Day, the woman who often puts herself last is being put first.”

More and more moms are going back to school, making their dreams a reality. In comparison to their demanding day-to-day tasks, school work must seem pretty easy. Moms of the world, thanks for all you do!

    One of the worst infographics I’ve ever seen. Embarrassing.
    Just what a special outing do you get for $26.73? Forcing your mom to ride public transit to get to the zoo?
    Electronics for $12.63? I guess that’s some battery powered personal pleasuring device?

    I’m still on the carryover plan from my childhood with the last-minute hand-made card. Sentiment > monetary value. Right? Right? Fine, I’m cheap.

      As long as your gift contains some sort of coupon book – the ultimate IOU of gift procrastinators.

        My mom stopped accepting them once she realized they were all expired.
