A day at the spa only does a person good. According to a Toluna and Buy survey of over 1,000 adults. More than 23% of survey respondents, pegged spa day as a winner, followed by cards at 20% of the votes.

But when looking at the data relating to moms who were 55 or older, gift cards captured top ranking with 38% and a new computer second with 25% for most desired present.

According to the National Restaurant Association survey, which took the pulse of 1,000 adults, 58% preferred to go out to a restaurant for dinner on the special day. And 32% preferred lunch, 24% brunch and 10% for breakfast. And why do these moms prefer going out? Apparently it’s a move designed to get some relief from cooking and doing the dishes.

“Our new research shows that more than 75 million Americans will visit restaurants this Mother’s Day, making dining out one of mom’s favorite activities that day,” Annika Stensson, a National Restaurant Association spokeswoman, said in a statement. “Because it is the most popular holiday to dine out, many restaurants offer special promotions and deals for moms and their families.”

Stensson suggested price fixed menus as one of the best Mother’s Day gift ideas. Look for deals on multi-course meals, as well as budget-friendly buffets. Don’t overlook those early bird specials and other off-peak hours and times.
