P&G Survey Finds More Than 80% of U.S. Moms Prefer Daily Help over Grand Gestures for Mother's Day

Moms Say the Everyday Things Matter Most

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- (NYS: PG) - With Mother's Day just around the corner, children often struggle to come up with the perfect gift to show Mom they are loved. But in a survey conducted by P&G, moms indicated that every day gestures are more meaningful than annual fancy gifts. Eighty-seven percent of those surveyed would prefer to have a little more time to themselves, a family day out, or a little more unprompted help around the house. Eighty-three percent said this would make them feel more appreciated and loved, even if it is just a simple 'Thank you' for all the things she does for the family.
