What does MOM really want for Mother’s day?
We think it is SPA SERVICES but we needed proof as to what our Habitude Moms REALLY want for Mother’s Day…
SAN FRANCISCO, April 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Findings from a recent survey of moms reveals what Mom is really looking for on Mother’s Day. From a delicious brunch, to a pampering massage, or a special zoo outing with the kids, Mom wants the perfect blend of time for herself and time with her family.
Plum District the leading daily offers site for moms, by moms, surveyed its members to uncover what Mom really wants on Mother’s Day. With its network of over 1 million mom subscribers across the country, Plum District learned a thing or two about Mom.
Among the findings:
- 75 percent claim they would prefer a handmade card over a necklace from Tiffany & Co.®
- Two thirds prefer to not pick out their own gift
- 54 percent would choose to spend quality time with their own mother versus 46 percent who would have her babysit the kids
“Some of the things we discovered in our survey were pretty surprising to us, like the fact that only 56 percent of husbands/significant others always remember Mother’s Day,” says Megan Gardner, CEO of Plum District. “What didn’t surprise us is that at the end of the day, moms might crave some ‘me’ time, but their families will always rank first.”
What sort of “me” time is Mom after?
- Eight out of ten moms would choose to sleep in versus a sunrise breakfast with the kids
- One third of moms secretly want the day to themselves
- 52 percent would use an hour to themselves for a massage, while the other 48 percent would go on a bike ride
So, we had it right…52% of you Moms want a SPA GIFT CARD for Mother’s Day.
