The National Retail Federation says this Mother's Day will break shopping records, due to rising prices. But, there are ways to keep those costs down and keep mom happy.
The National Retail Federation estimates the average family will spend $245 on Mother's Day this year, including gifts and dinner.We found some great gifts that won't break the bank, starting with a traditional favorite: Floral gifts.Floral centers everywhere are busy this week, as shoppers like Tasha Thompson search for that perfect flower or plant for mom.
John Clark, manager of Benken Florist and Garden Center, suggests buying mom a long-lasting flowering plant that she can plant in her garden, such as roses, lilies, or hydrangeas. "Instead of something that might last two weeks," Clark said,"it's an ever-giving gift, all through the season, and when she looks out she is reminded of who gave her that gift."Shopping blogger Trae Bodge says buying jewelry for mom doesn't have to be expensive.Bodge says if the budget is tight, costume jewelry can be very affordable, and usually on sale at brick and mortar stores.
"She might like some fun sort of sparkly pieces to dress up with as she's going back to work," Bodge said.Overall though, the National Retail Federation expects people to spend extra on mom this year, despite inflationary pressures. Kathrine Cullen of the trade group said"they're not gonna scrimp on mom. Because of inflation, they really want this to feel like a special year."That way mom has a great day, and you don't waste your money.
