Let’s face it - there are a lot of women to celebrate on Mother’s Day. Your mom, stepmom, grandmother, sister, mother-in-law. And then there are your close friends, neighbors, godmother, expecting mothers, and that aunt who has always been like a mom. The list can go on and on (because that’s how great the fairer sex is!), but don’t let that stop you from honoring all the women in your life that are mothers in one way or another. Whether they’re 20 or 90 years old, have one child or ten, be sure you show them how special they are with a token of your appreciation.

- Going out to eat. According to the National Restaurant Association, 38% of Americans go out to eat on Mother’s Day, netting close to $3 billion annually. Brunch and
dinner are traditionally the most popular meals to celebrate Mom. - Jewelry. In 2012, American moms and grandmothers received $2.3 billion worth of jewelry for Mother’s Day. Most jewelers offer a wide variety of Mom-specific options.
- Flowers (including fruit arrangements, gift baskets, etc). 1-800-Flowers, Edible Arrangements, and floral shops around the country cashed in on nearly $2 billion spent on floral arrangements in 2009.
- Gift cards. Just because she’s your mom doesn’t mean she won’t like the opportunity to choose her own gift. Spruce up your handmade card with cold hard cash to Mom’s favorite store, or even a pre-paid credit card.
- Clothing and accessories. Gutsy men and kids may decide to get Mom that fancy outfit she’s been eyeing since New Year’s. Annually, about $1.2 billion is spent at clothes and accessories retailers for Mother’s Day.
