California Travel Tips
Mother’s Day May 14, 2017
Published on: April 30, 2017
Consumers say they will spend more than ever on this year’s Mother’s Day as they shower moms with everything from jewelry to special outings at restaurants. I’d give anything to hug my mom and tell her I love her on Mother’s Day — she passed away a year ago and before she passed she began giving away her “stuff.” Gift-giving is great, but if you’re looking for something you can do together, here are a few ideas:
- Art Fairs: Alameda | Bass Lake | Dana Point | El Dorado Hills | Los Angeles | Los Banos | Marin | Monterey | Moorpark | Santa Fe Springs | Sunset Beach | Suisun City
- Wine Festivals
- Food Festivals
A recent National Retail Federation study found Americans plan on spending billions on moms in 2017 — with consumers averaging $186.39 for the holiday, up from last year’s $172.22.
- Jewelry $4.2 billion
- Special brunch or dinner $3.5 billion
- Flowers $2.3 billion
- Electronics $2.3 billion
- Gift cards $2 billion
- Clothing and accessories $1.7 billion
- Day spa, etc. $1.5 billion
