On the second Sunday in May1, this year the big day is May 11th, American children of all ages treat their mothers to something special. It is the one day out of the year when children, young and old, try to show in a tangible way how much they appreciate their mothers
England was one of the first countries to set aside a day to recognize mothers. In the eighteenth century when many people worked as household servants for the rich, Mothering Sunday was reserved for them to return home to be with their mothers. Though this custom stopped when the Industrial Revolution altered the working and living patterns of the people, one Sunday for Mothers was established as a holiday in the twentieth century.
In the United States, Mother's Day did not become an official holiday until 1915.

While consumers are planning a buying level about the same as last year, around $138.63, their expenditures will be focused on one major gift rather than several smaller gifts.
Consumers still plan to spend big bucks to please mom this Mother's Day however this year they plan on being cautious with how they expend those gift dollars. BIGresearch Vice President of Strategy Phil Rist says, "Gas prices and other economic issues will still be at the forefront of people's minds as they shop around for the perfect gift for mom."
