Approximately 84 percent of U.S. adults are expected to celebrate Mother’s Day and are planning to spend $25 more this year on purchases for Mom, up to a record average of $245.76.

Another 30 percent of consumers are planning to shop at department stores, 27 percent at specialty stores, and 23 percent at local small businesses.
