Mother's Day is Sunday, and if you're unsure of what to get your mom this year, treat her to a good time at an Acadiana restaurant, or find the right gift to best honor her.

The study shows the most popular gifts to give by percentage purchased are flowers (74%), greeting cards (74%), and special outings such as dinner or brunch (59%).

If you planning to spend more on actual gifts, the NRF said jewelry comes in fourth with 40% of purchases, personal services at 32% and 21% of purchases are on electronics. This year, online (35%) remains the most popular shopping destination, followed by department stores (32%), specialty stores (29%) and local or small businesses (25%), the NFR release said.
