What will you treat mommy-dearest to on her special day? This year, the average American will shell out nearly $169* on gifts for Mother’s Day, making it one of the largest gift-giving holidays in the country. From flowers, to clothes and accessories, to spa treatments and of course the traditional Mother’s Day brunch, the projected total to be spent on moms is $20.7 billion.* While we’re not promoting excessive spending, just take a moment to consider the impact that money could make if it were spent locally.
