Can't Buy Me Love: Moms Really Looking for Quality Time This Mother's Day

EMERYVILLE, Calif., May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Making Mom happy may cost much less than you think.

This Mother's Day, Godiva Coffee offers some inexpensive ideas for the gift Mom really wants: a little of your time and a lot of your love.  According to the Wakefield Research study (conducted for Godiva Coffee), 87% of Americans (moms included) believe it's the quality of time spent with Mom, not the quantity of time, that's most important. To treat Mom this year, Godiva Coffee is offering two special limited edition flavors: Dark Chocolate Raspberry and Roasted Almond.

Here are some ways of spending quality time with Mom that are sure to make her happy, for less than $15:

• Surprise her with breakfast in bed: Nothing shows your love for Mom like waking up before she does to prepare her a delicious breakfast. Add some flavored Godiva Coffee to the menu to make it feel special; and just remember to clean up the kitchen afterwards.
• Work yourself into her schedule for a day: Help Mom run her errands and be her chauffeur to enjoy the great conversation that comes while driving around together doing everyday things. Have a cup of Godiva Coffee before you leave the house or bring it with you in an insulated coffee tumbler.
• Stroll down memory lane: Sit down with some indulgent Godiva Coffee and delicious treats, and enjoy viewing old photo albums and/or videos to reminisce. For bonus points, help Mom scan them onto a computer to share on Facebook.

Godiva Coffee is available in a variety of delicious flavors at your local grocery store at a suggested retail price of $9.99.  Year-round favorites include Chocolate Truffle, French Vanilla, Hazelnut Creme and Breakfast Blend. Because all Godiva coffees are made from 100% premium medium-roasted Arabica beans, fans of Godiva chocolates can indulge in a premium coffee that is every bit as luxurious as it is delicious.  More information about Godiva's family of premium coffees, including grocery store availability, is available at www.godivacoffee.com.
