With some 144 million planning to spend a median of $75 on their mom in 2023, retailers are on track to rake in roughly $11B from Mother’s Day shoppers.
In comparison, just 42% say they will buy a Father’s Day gift in 2023. And with an average spend of $60, US shoppers will spend roughly $7 billion on gifts for dad — about $4 billion less than will be spent on mom.
Parents, if you want gifts: have boys. Almost three-quarters of men (73%) say they will buy at least one of their parents a gift for either Mother’s or Father’s Day in 2023, compared to a little over half of women (56%).
Over two-fifths of women (44%) say they won’t buy a Mother’s or Father’s Day gift in 2023, compared to a little over a quarter (27%) of men.
Just shy of a third of women (30%) say they will buy gifts for both mom and day, whereas a little under two-fifths of men (37%) said the same.
Daddy’s girl seems to be at least partially true, with women (10%) a little more likely than men (8%) to buy gifts for just their dad.
However, mama’s boy is definitely a real thing, with men (29%) far more likely than women (17%) to shop for just mom.
Interestingly, while there is some variation in the number of men and women shopping for mom and dad, how much they plan to spend on each parent is consistent. Men plan to spend a median of $100 on gifts for either Mother’s or Father’s Day, double the projected Mother’s and Father’s Day spend for women ($50).
Good news for parents with Millennials and Gen Z children as 84% of both generations say they will buy either their mom or dad gifts in 2023. (To be fair, the sad reality is that many of those in older generations will no longer have a parent to shop for.)

If you’re wondering when is Mother’s Day this year, it’s pretty easy to remember, as Mother’s Day always falls on the second Sunday in May. Mother’s Day 2023 will be on Sunday, May 14, 2023.
