Mother’s Day is coming up on May 10, and this day will be more unique than ever due to social distancing and stay-at-home orders in the majority of U.S. cities. It’s a holiday where more phone calls are made than any other day, and that number is sure to rise astronomically for 2020.
Candy is a top gift for mom during Mother’s Day with total U.S. retail sales of $23.1 billion and total online sales at $6.9 billion, according to Bloomberg and the National Retail Federation. Online candy and chocolate sales are sure to surge in the next couple of weeks, thanks in part to confectionary companies that want to honor the mom in a special way while practicing social distancing.
