Mother’s Day

This article is brought to you by Spavelous.com.

http://www.spavelous.com

According to IBISWorld, Inc., one of the nation’s most respected independent publishers of business intelligence research about 86 percent of Americans will be celebrating Mother’s Day on May 11 this year, with children expected to spend more than $18 billion on spoiling their mothers.

And while gift ideas from toasters to towel sets are filling the catalogues, IBISWorld analysts say greeting cards and flowers will remain the primary gifts of choice this Mother’s Day, followed by gift cards, jewelry, pamper packs, and a well earned break from the kitchen.

Top Mother’s Day Gift Picks

Flowers — A traditional favorite, Americans are expected to spend $2.61 billion on a bunch of blooms for mom this Mother’s Day. In addition to carnations, chrysanthemums, and lilies, other popular choices will include orchids, roses, and Spring-time tulips.

Greeting Cards — While e-cards and homemade cards are becoming increasingly popular, IBISWorld predicts the greeting card sector will generate close to $68 million in sales from Mother’s Day spending this year, with Hallmark Cards, Inc., being the number one brand of choice.

Gift Cards — As Americans become increasingly short on time, IBISWorld has identified gift cards as a sector set for growth this year — largely fueled by the convenience of the Internet.

Note with Spavelous Spa Gift Cards, you may also send a complimentary e-card!

“Gift cards take the pressure off the giver, and allow the receiver a guilt free shopping spree,” said Mr George Van Horn, senior analyst for IBISWorld, Inc. “And with an increasing number, and greater variety of stores offering this option, gift certificates are forecast to account for $1.94 billion of Mother’s Day spending this year, with the segment set to boom in the coming years.”

Jewelry - IBISWorld is forecasting Mother’s Day will generate 7.8 percent of the jewelry industry’s annual revenue in 2008, with spending expected to reach $2.41 billion. The most popular choices for mom’s under the age of 25 are sterling silver pieces, with moms aged between 26 and 49 preferring quality rings and earrings, and mom’s aged over 50 favoring more traditional items such as pearls.

Personal Services and Pamper Packages - Incorporating all things indulgent, personal services and pamper packages, including spa treatments, facials, and massages are expected to be a big hit this Mother’s Day, with spending on this sector expected to reach $1.53 billion.

Giving Mom the Night Off - Whether it’s take-away at home, lunch at a cafe, or dinner at a family friendly restaurant, Mother’s Day will give many moms a break away from the kitchen. American’s are expected to spend close to $3.51 billion on dining out this year, with brunch and dinner being the most popular dining out options.

Another trend noted by IBISWorld this year is a move away from the purchase of ‘functional’ items such as kitchen and electrical appliances. “This Mother’s Day is all about indulgent items,” said Mr. Van Horn. “So while a foot spa may still feature, a food processor is definitely off the list.”

Gift Certificates Receivers Guide

 

Many questions and complaints come in about spa gift certificates, here are some pointers that will help you to understand your spa gift certificate that you have received and also assist you in making an informed decision about what spa gift certificates to purchase. You may think that when you receive a gift certificate that there is nothing else you need to know other then who ever gave it to you loves you and wants you to take care of yourself and they care enough to want to help you to make time for relaxation. However, the best gift you can give the giver is to show them how much you appreciate the spa gift card by using it. So what do you need to know?

• Gift cards and gift certificates are money, if you lose them they will not be replaced, so put them in a safe place (but not so safe that you will forget to use it)
• Make your spa appointment NOW! Use the gift card within 2 weeks of receiving it (otherwise you might forget you have it). A spa service is something to be savored not saved. In addition, if the spa changes ownership or is sold, you may be out of luck. So use your gift card NOW!
• Gift cards do expire. If you do not use it you may lose it. Check here for the Gift Certificate Consumer Protection Laws in your state. If the spa gift card is one of those National Spa Gift cards, check to see which state’s regulations apply to the expiration date it may be the state of the company that produced it and not the state you reside.
• Many spa gift certificates DO NOT allow you to use them for discounted services. This is because some of these national spa gift cards charge a large fee (15% – 17%) to the spa to redeem them. If they gave you a discounted service, then they would lose money. If you are buying a spa gift certificate, and you know the spa that the person wants to go to, it is best for you to buy a certificate for that spa that way the person can maximize its value and use it on discounted services and specials. The other draw back to a national spa gift certificate is that you must use the whole value for services; most of them will not let you use a portion for gratuity. If you have questions about the use or redemption of your gift card contact the spa manager prior to your visit. Make sure you get their name and write it down in the event there is a problem later.
• Check to see if you can use a portion of your gift certificate for gratuity, if not make sure you have cash for a gratuity. Some spas are unable to ring up a gratuity only on their credit card system, so good to check it before hand.
