Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) May 06, 2014 -- Despite the title of that ’50s TV show, we know it’s mom who really knows best.

And to show their appreciation for all she’s done, Americans will spend $19.9 billion on Mother’s Day gifts this year -- an average of $163 per person -- with most money going towards outings, clothing and jewelry, according to the National Retail Federation. For those keeping score, that’s about $6.6 billion more than was spent on Dad for Father’s Day last year.

The biggest online sales day for gifts for Mom in 2013? May 8, four days before missing the day that would land you in a much-deserved time out.

But that doesn’t mean Mom’s savings lessons haven’t paid off. Data from ShopAtHome.com, the largest coupon search engine that connects upwards of 12 million consumers each month to exclusive deals and Cash Back savings, shows that in the month prior to Mother’s Day 2013, New Yorkers ranked No. 1 when it came to receiving the highest Cash Back rewards on Mother’s Day purchases, with shoppers snagging 15 percent of their money back through ShopAtHome.com.

New Jersey, meanwhile, spent more at online flower and gift stores per order than any other state, averaging more than $67 per purchase. The state most frugal when it came to Mother’s Day spending? Hawaii, with an average purchase order of $29.99.

"Whether your budget only allows for a thoughtful card and a phone call, or is big enough for something extravagant, being a smart, savvy shopper is always something to strive for," says Lesley Kennedy, senior managing editor at ShopAtHome.com. "No matter the gift, it’s clear using online coupons and taking advantage of Cash Back rewards helps Americans save real money. And, no doubt, that would make the moms we know very proud.”

1. New Jersey

6. Oregon
7. West Virginia

May flowers

Consumers spent 2.5 times more on flowers in May 2013 than any other month, although May’s average flower order value of $40.65 was second to lowest last year (April took the No. 12 spot). What gives? Shoppers took advantage of incredible Mother’s Day sales and coupon offers. February, FYI, rated second in overall spending, thanks to Valentine’s Day.

Last-minute shopping

According to ShopAtHome.com data, last year’s Mother’s Day shopping orders began to increase dramatically one week before the holiday. The biggest online sales day for gifts for Mom in 2013? May 8, four days before missing the day that would land you in a much-deserved time out.

So, what are people spending?

In 2013, the average Mother’s Day order totaled $53.88, with consumers saving the most money on May 2, or 10 days before the holiday.
