Most popular flower for Mother's Day revealed
And what better way to show them just how much you love and care by sending them some stunning flowers?
But that comes with a whole new set of difficulties... as there are thousands of different flowers to choose from.
Thankfully, Uber Eats has broken down the most popular flower in each state so you can figure out the best type to get your mom this Mother's Day.
According to the data taken from plant orders with the company during last year's Mother's Day, roses were the go-to flowers for people who live in California, Texas, Florida, Illinois, Virginia, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Colorado, Washington, Tennessee, Oregon, Hawaii, Minnesota, Kentucky, Maryland, South Carolina, Connecticut, Missouri, Alabama, Louisiana, Idaho, Iowa, Nebraska, Montana, Arkansas, Utah, Rhode Island, Mississippi, Kansas, South Dakota, Maine, Delaware, Wyoming, and North Dakota.
A combination of roses and lilies took the lead in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, while tulips were the most-bought flower for Mother's Day last year in New York.
In addition, mixed bouquets with an array of different flowers were most popular in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Alaska, and West Virginia.
If you're not interested in gifting your mom flowers, sweet treats are also popular Mother's Day gifts, according to Uber Eats, which revealed a number of popular desserts sent to mothers.
According to the company, the top gift basket food items ordered ahead of the holiday last year across the US were chocolate dipped strawberries, Tru Fru's White & Dark Chocolate Raspberries, chocolate brownies, mousse cake, and strawberry cake.
For those who want to get their mom something related to beauty or personal care, you might want to buy her some perfume because Uber Eats reported that fragrances were a top beauty product bought for Mother's Day last year.
The Versace Bright Crystal Eau De Toilette Spray, Santal 33's Eau de Parfum, the Another 13 Eau de Parfum, Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue Eau De Toilette Spray, and the Noir 29 Eau de Parfum were among the most popular ones.
Uber Eats also broke down the most generous states when it came to Mother's day by analyzing 'the average order value or number of gifts' from last year.
According to the data, California residents spent the most on their moms, with the average gift basket coming in at just under $95.
New York came in second at $75, and Massachusetts came in third at around $73.
Next up was Texas, which averaged about $69 per Mother's Day gift basket, followed by Nevada at $67.
But what may come as a shock is the difference in how much children spend on their moms versus their dads for their respective holidays.
A survey from the National Retail Federation last year estimated that Mother's Day spending was expected to reach $33.5 billion in 2024, with shoppers expecting to spend about $254 on average on their Mother's Day gifts and celebrations.
However, a separate survey by the National Retail Federation found that Father's Day spending was only expected to total $22.4 billion in 2024 - over $11 billion less than Mother's Day.
It found that shoppers estimated to spend $190 on average on gifts and celebrations for Father's Day, also a smaller number than the amount expected for Mother's Day.
If you're looking for something for your mom this Mother's Day, Uber Eats is offering unlimited 50 percent off on select flowers. Order here.

Kate Middleton releases new video celebrating the beauty of British summer
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The Princess of Wales has shared a new message with a professional video of the UK's beautiful landscapes that helped inspire her through her cancer journey. For 2025, Kate Middleton spoke of how she has been comforted by nature over the past year, during which she received treatment for cancer. Spreading a message of love, she has now released a second video through the Kensington Palace social media accounts highlighting the natural beauty of British summertime. She wrote a post on X, signed off with her initial: 'Our lives flourish when we cherish the bonds of love and friendship. It has never been more important to appreciate the value of one another, and of Mother Nature. Here's to Summer. C' Her voiceover is played over video shot by Will Warr, from TopJaw fame, depicting an idyllic vision of British summertime without the raging wildfires. It does include awe-inspiring moments from the UK's landscape, a pollinating bee, huge trees, crashing waves, towering cliffs and children playing in sand dunes. Catherine says: 'Summer is a season for abundance. Just as the flowers bloom and the fruits ripen, we too are reminded of our own potential for growth. It is the time to ignite our inner fire and explore our own creativity, passions, and dreams. 'As we bask in the sunlit hours, friends and families come together; playing, connecting, being present. Embracing the joy to be found in even the most fleeting of moments and shared experiences. 'Our lives flourish when we cherish the bonds of love and friendship. 'So open your hearts; sing, dance, play. 'The days are still long, so simply love, and be loved.' The glossy production includes shots from Sheffield, Bradford, North Wales and Anglesey and the south coast of England. It comes after a furore over her message, which led to her picture being pulled from news agencies, in a row over manipulation which dragged on for weeks and led to a public apology. She told how discrepancies seen in the family photo were not part of some big conspiracy, but her 'amateur' attempts at picture editing. The princess came under scrutiny following her Mother's Day message last year, which included a photo of her and her children said to have been taken by William in Windsor earlier in the week. Questions were raised that the image – the first of the princess to have been released after she underwent abdominal surgery a few weeks earlier – may have been manipulated before it was posted on social media. It was withdrawn by international picture agencies later the same day. Kate publicly took the blame for the manipulated photograph and issued a personal apology for the 'confusion'. She said: 'Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. 'I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. 'I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day. C.' The princess underwent a course of preventative chemotherapy after her cancer diagnosis and announced in September last year that she had completed her treatment. More Trending In January, Kate confirmed she is 'now in remission' from cancer following a surprise visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital where she received her treatment. A message on social media, also signed 'C', said: 'I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year. 'My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me as we have navigated everything. 'We couldn't have asked for more. The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional. Got a story?

Your Mother's Day plans might need an umbrella
Bangkok may have been sizzling hot last week – the kind of heat that makes you wonder if the rainy season took an early holiday – but don't be fooled. Mother Nature's got a plot twist ready. The rainy season is far from over and Thailand is set for more wet days and scattered heavy showers until August 15. According to the Thai Meteorological Department, the monsoon trough is strengthening and will stretch across the North and Northeast, while the southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand is also picking up speed. All of this means more rain across the country, with some areas in the East and along the South's west coast seeing very heavy downpours. In Bangkok, expect isolated thundershowers – those quick bursts of rain that can turn the streets glossy in minutes. Temperatures will ease down to a comfortable 25-27C at night and climb to a toasty 34-37C during the day. So what's the plan for the long holiday? You could stay in, brew a pot of tea and watch the raindrops race down your window with Mum. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, pop out and explore – we've got a list of the best things to do with Mum on Mother's Day. Just make sure your umbrella is your plus-one and your shoes can handle a few puddles.
