Shoppers Spend Average of $260 on Mother’s Day??

Sadly, my mother died several years ago. But my wife and I have two children, and they are getting her a gift. However, I can promise you that total the pair spend on their mother won't begin to approach $520+.

Does the average shopper really spend an average of $260 per person for their mother? Not that mothers don't deserve it. I always told my mom and dad that no matter what I did for them, I could never fully repay them for what they did for me.
