Mothers day is specifically for female's who have children. Valentines Day is for both MEN and WOMAN. So they are each buying each other a gift. On mother's day as the age gets older of a couple, I am guessing that you will find that the likelyhood of a mother still living is less and less likely,therefore, reducing the demand for flower, chocolate or jewelry as you say. <BR/><BR/>In addition, having been in the gift industry for nearly 20 years, and online for nearly 10 years, http://www.gemaffair.com, we find that Mother's day is no longer a traditional holiday. Meaning, your flowers, chocolate and jewelry don't necessarily apply anymore. More and more, Mothers, woman in general are wanting more useful gifts. I think that if you studied chocolate sales (as a gift) and flower sales as a whole (figuring in the population growth) that you would find many people are buying other things. <BR/><BR/>In closing, I really think you would need to factor in some changing trends and measure other sites to see if gift giving for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day are really that different.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and kudos to the person who cited that we don't condemn florists for price gouging around holidays!<BR/><BR/>MichaelGEMaffairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02819903280109836438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9285668.post-27228572234394004322008-10-14T02:01:00.000-07:002008-10-14T02:01:00.000-07:00I think your right about mothers getting more than just flowers but also mothers can be 100's of miles away from their kids so just get a phone call whereas sweethearts are usually much closer therefore getting a present.<BR/><A HREF="http://www.dreamtimestudio.com/fashion_photographer.htm" REL="nofollow"><BR>shane</A>shanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06738364439033053477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9285668.post-12301477318362085702008-08-03T20:22:00.000-07:002008-08-03T20:22:00.000-07:00We know our mother first before girlfriend. Who is more concern about you and who cares more for you is thereafter- that's what you received from them. So we show them our love and appreciation for them on Mother's Day and Valentine Day!It's me!http://www.blogger.com/profile/08796797962699722887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9285668.post-22503251299113576182008-07-14T21:04:00.000-07:002008-07-14T21:04:00.000-07:00It's very interesting that you noticed this trend. I think a sweetheart definitely deserves flowers. Moms deserve everything else like clothes, gift certificates, money and flowers.<BR/>Diana PDiana P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01278174159594629622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9285668.post-15563691187900116412008-06-28T05:50:00.000-07:002008-06-28T05:50:00.000-07:00In my opinion, we know that our mothers will be there and love us without gifts expectations. They will hold their partner accountable for a special gift. For your sweetheart, you have to re-enforce your reasons to exist in the relationship by showing some appreciation.<BR/>RomanceExpressions.comromeohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03037668702650611313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9285668.post-62378572068444906402008-06-12T12:59:00.000-07:002008-06-12T12:59:00.000-07:00One problem you have is the common supposition of the male dominated universe.<BR/><BR/>By definition, only a female would be celebrated on mother's day.<BR/><BR/>However, by definition, a "sweetheart" is your significant other.<BR/><BR/>This means that only the females who've reproduced would be applicable for flowers on mother's day.<BR/><BR/>However, any living human being, male or female, would be a valid recipient on Valentine's day.<BR/><BR/>So, while an 80 year old may gladly give his or her sweetie a gift of flowers, the statistical probability of them having a living parent is extremely low.<BR/><BR/>Hence, if we assume a given 80 year old is an average male, he could account for up to 2 gifts on Valentine's day, 1 sent, and 1 received, but none on Mother's day, as he'd neither send nor receive anything....http://www.blogger.com/profile/15642870574541330485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9285668.post-31394940398421159252008-06-11T06:34:00.000-07:002008-06-11T06:34:00.000-07:00Besides all of the sweet things my kids make for me at school, my husband gave me a new video camera (I am a picture and video freak) and always have one camera with me at all times. No flowers here:) That's a good thing though because I told him if he spent $50 on one bouquet of flowers ever again, I'd get upset with him! I'd serioulsy rather have the $3.99 flowers from Wal-Mart. They are less expensive and they last longer. The last bouquet of carnations from Wal-Mart I bought lasted more than two weeks! The way florists spike the prices at certain times of the year is terrible. Everybody makes noise when gas stations price gouge but nobody does when florists do:)Synhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18441103402571767420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9285668.post-73339330535266194232008-06-10T20:35:00.000-07:002008-06-10T20:35:00.000-07:00Lets not forget Fathers Day, If it weren't for that I would feel neglected.

Things like engraved knick knacks, or framed pictures from childhood, etc.<BR/><BR/>Also, I know this is slightly off topic... but the screenshot you posted was generated on May 19th... which seems to be the last date that Alexa compiled any data.

Very few people are aware of a Mother's day.<BR/>Maybe Feb 14 is the most "international" holiday?<BR/>You also settled my concern about our "International Woman's Day" (Mar 08) - as far as nobody buys flowers this day (according to Alexa) it is not international at all :)Outofscopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07544928556955114071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9285668.post-10952241469783097862008-05-24T17:05:00.000-07:002008-05-24T17:05:00.000-07:002 thoughts: Mom's have forgiven us all our lives and some of us take advantage of that.

If you add that spike to the May figures , you almost catch up with Valentines Day.<BR/><BR/>I guess it would be interesting to know how many of their sales were addressed to non US recipients.Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15528989605480644069noreply@blogger.com
