This year Mother’s Day will be celebrated on Sunday, May 14th. President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation making Mother’s Day a national holiday in 1914. We’re nearly 110 years strong, celebrating the amazing force of motherhood!
With Mother’s Day come many loving tributes that millions of people in the US will offer to honor the special moms and mom figures in their lives.
This includes 133 million cards exchanged annually, which according to Hallmark, makes it the third-largest card-sending holiday in the United States.
In addition, phone calls increase up to 37% on Mother’s Day, showing that not everything about the holiday is commercial.

According to statista.com, in 2022, U.S. consumers planned to spend a total of nearly three billion U.S. dollars on flowers for Mother’s Day!
Sure, flowers and cards are lovely sentiments, but I went straight to the source—real moms—and asked them what they secretly hoped to get this year for Mother’s Day.
Some of their answers might surprise you, and some of them just might have you jumping up and down in agreement.
Here are 10 thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts that mom will love:
- An entire day without any siblings squabbling amongst themselves. (the gift that keeps on giving!)
2. An entire day without having to cook any meals or pick up after the rest of the family.
3. Have the car detailed—this includes washing not only the outside but the inside, too (to remove all the juice boxes, wrappers, toys, clothing, Kleenex, and other paraphernalia that usually clutters Mom’s car). It also includes stains on seats and rugs cleaned, a full vacuum, and a new air freshener for good measure.
4. A mother’s ring or necklace with the birthstones of all the children represented in the jewelry.
5. A recent framed photo of all her children together—smiling is an extra bonus!
6. A visit to a spa for either a full body massage, a facial, a manicure/pedicure, a makeover—or all of the above.
7. A well-cooked breakfast in bed followed by a few hours alone to read, nap, take a hot bubble bath, or do anything else her heart desires that she normally wouldn’t be able to do.
8. A love letter from her spouse and the kids telling her what makes her so special to their family.
9. A gift certificate to a favorite restaurant to be saved and used for a night in the future when she really doesn’t feel like cooking.
10. An organized, de-cluttered home so she can enjoy time with her family instead of maintaining stuff.
