Last year, Americans' spent $163.00 per mom for a Mother's Day gift compared to $113.00 for dad on Father's Day. I'll explain why the difference later. Another interesting tidbit regarding Mother's Day expenditures is the very fact that Mother's Day is the single greatest restaurant cash flow in America. Surely, if my mother was still living, I would be headed her way for a special restaurant experience and reminiscing.
Okay, here's the deal on the extra money spent on Mom's over that spent on Dad's celebrating their respective days. The $50.00 more spent on Mom is for the nine month 'baggage carrying cost.'
Make no mistake, man's greatest gift is his Mother...God bless our Mothers. If you are like me and cannot share this Mother's Day with your Mom, may you be richly blessed with precious memories.
