San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 01, 2012
TechBargains.com, a leading deal aggregation website for electronic products, released its Mothers Day survey results revealing a staggering 91% of mothers would prefer to receive an iPad over flowers for Mothers Day, yet only 12% of people said they would give their mom a tech gadget for Mothers Day with the highest percentage (27%) saying they would give flowers. The results indicated that respondents under 30 believe their moms are the most tech savvy. The survey also found that men believe their mothers are more tech savvy than women do. Additionally, the results revealed that the majority of people (59 %) will spend $50 or less on mom this year.
The survey results indicate a significant shift in what mothers want as gifts, said Yung Trang, President and Editor in Chief of TechBargains.com. Flowers, candy and cards appear to be antiquated gifts. Todays moms want to receive tech gifts to juggle their busy family and professional lives. The tablet is their gadget of choice.
Its the Thought That Counts
The survey revealed that although moms expect big gifts from their children their offspring arent planning on giving their mothers very much. 19% of respondents say they wont get their mom anything, 26% will buy them flowers and only11% will get their mom a tech gadget. The gap between Moms wishes and their gift givers intentions are vast. Only 16% of moms said they didnt want anything.
Gadgets, Gadgets, Gadgets
The survey found that of the 31% of moms who want a tech gadget, 51% want a tablet, 16% want an MP3 player, 14% want a laptop, 9% want an e-reader, 4% want a digital camera, 3% want an alternate gadget, 2% want a cell phone and 1% want a TV, a powerful indication of the growing tablet market. Of the moms who want tablets, 64% want an iPad and only 23% want a Kindle Fire, a strong indicator of Apples lead in the tablet market.
