By comparison, Mother’s Day spending was expected to total about $20 billion this year, with celebrants planning to spend about $163 each.

Greeting cards (64.1%) and special outings (42.6%) will be the most popular gift choices, per the NRF, with department stores (35.8%) and online (28.4%) the most popular shopping destinations.
