Mother’s Day Statistics 2023 Survey

Mother’s Day Statistics 2023 Survey

Mother's Day is just around the corner and it's that special time of year where we take a moment to appreciate and show love to the mothers in our lives. As a way to understand how people are planning to celebrate this year, we recently conducted a survey of 100 customers to get their insights and opinions on Mother's Day. The results we found were both interesting and insightful, shedding light on how people are planning to celebrate this special occasion, what types of gifts they are considering, and much more.

Think Pink, Think Peonies

It’s not the first time for many to be sending flowers for Mother’s Day, but when it comes to the type of flower and color, there are some clear winners.

  • It’s a classic flower color for a reason! 45% of survey respondents say they gravitate towards pink flowers on Mother’s Day.
  • Purple was a close runner up, with 17% of people gifting purple flowers for Mother’s Day.
  • When it comes to flower type, it’s hard to beat peonies! These fluffy blooms are the favorite of 46% of respondents (we get why)!
  • Other flowers also get their time in the spotlight, with 12% sending tulips, 11% choosing to send roses, and 25% sending another stem for Mother’s Day.
