The key takeaway from this study was that gift-giving may not be the right move. The study found that 58% of moms think physical gifts are unimportant and would prefer doing something together. Family outings are the preferred Mother's Day gift for 35% of moms. If you are to get your mom a gift, it's best to get a personalized gift rather than the stereotypical flowers or chocolate.
