Influenster, a product review company, asked about 4,600 young American mothers, average age 32 years old, what they want this year.

Seventy-two percent of moms responded they want to be pampered — a spa day, beauty gifts, things to help her relax for awhile. Fifty-three percent said they would enjoy a physical gift (flowers, clothing, etc.), and 48% would enjoy an experiential gift, such as a class or a concert. But, save your glue sticks for another holiday— only 33% want a DIY gift.  

Eighty-three percent of moms said they would rather get gifts from their spouses rather than their children (79%). 

The map breaks it down by location and each state's most popular answers. Women could choose from among 23 categories of gifts, from jewelry to electronics.

Cosmetics were the most requested gifts; spa and wellness gifts were the runners up. 

Don't worry about needing money for diamonds; New Jersey, New York and Alabama were the only states where jewelry was the top answer. 

Gift cards were not as popular, and flowers were only requested in two states, so be careful of cliches. 

Here are some more ideas for Mother's Day gifts and activities, if you're still unsure.
