Okay, we have to admit, we’re a little surprised. A handmade card over a necklace from Tiffany’s? Hmmmm…that sounds a little fishy. I mean, don’t get me wrong: handmade cards are sweet and heartfelt but a piece of jewelry can be passed on for generations and remind your Mom of the love you feel for her every time she wears it.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 29 (UPI) — Seventy-five percent of U.S. mothers say they would prefer a handmade card over a necklace from Tiffany & Co., a survey indicates.
Plum District, which provides locally relevant offers targeted for mothers, surveyed its 1 million members to find out what they want for Mother’s Day.
The survey, which involved 19,256 of its members during March, indicated two-thirds would prefer to not pick out their own gift and 54 percent would choose to spend quality time with their own mother.
However, what mothers really want is some sleep. Eight-of-10 mothers said they would choose to sleep in versus a sunrise breakfast with the kids.
One-third of moms said they secretly want the day to themselves, while 52 percent would use an hour to themselves for a massage, while the other 48 percent would go on a bike ride.
This would go nicely with a handmade card:
