According to the National Retail Federation, 86 percent of Americans have plans to celebrate Mother's Day in some manner during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Year-to-year, greeting cards are consistently the most common gift given for the holiday. Flowers are the second most popular gift.

Traditionally, special outings came in third for spending plans on the holiday, but that's anticipated to drop this year and gift cards will overtake in-person spending plans.
