SALT LAKE CITY, April 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- According to an Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSTK) survey of more than 800 national consumers, 54 percent of mothers noted they would prefer receiving a pair of shoes or jewelry rather than be treated to breakfast in bed on Mother's Day.

In the jewelry category, 56 percent of women surveyed prefer earrings as a gift. Necklaces ran a close second and bracelets third. Overstock.com's gift center provides assistance for shoppers in finding any item that fits their mothers' wish lists.

"As a mother myself, I must agree with the results of this survey.  I hope my sons are reading this and shop the Gift Center at Overstock.com," said Stormy Simon, president of Overstock.com. "It will definitely steer them in the right direction."

Nearly 75 percent of shoppers plan on buying a Mother's Day gift or card for someone this Mother's Day. The survey also revealed that the average intended amount to be spent for mothers and mother-like figures is $133.  Even so, a Mother's Day card is the most common gift for mothers and stepmothers.
