Mother's Day is the first Sunday in May. How do we celebrate it and do the mothers impact our economy? There have been some thoughts among the economist in the past, about the value of house work that mothers do and consequently how they enriched our economy. The fact is that they only work for love and affection and Mother's Day is our opportunity to repay them in kind. I still have my mother alive and well and, being in my forties, therefore, consider Mother's Day my duty, as well. On the other side, of the coin, there are businesses that will help us to pay homage to our mothers, and they will enjoy Mother's Day as the opportunity to make money. For most of it might be long awaited and planned opportunity. While talking to some, you will notice the desperation and expectation of business, riding on the event. Many restaurants in Toronto have already planned for celebration, prepared special menus that have been printed or made posting on their websites, hoping to attract a large crowd for Mother's Day. Flower shops in Toronto are businesses with highest hope and expectation of cashing in. The development is right across Canada. Mother's Day is an important event, however, on the scale comparing to other holidays, like Valentine's Day, it is a smaller event-day in comparison. The gift-giving is confined to flowers and dining. Our mothers are loved, but in a different way, we love our wives, lovers and girlfriends. Consequently we spend much more on the later ones, than on our mothers.

What matters more, love or money? We live in a world, where money buys everything and consequently we have to measure in terms of economic impact, rather than love. Origin of a thriving economy starts in grade one, where very young children are already being introduced to the concept of creating gifts for mothers and the Mother's day. Creating simple gifts and giving it to the mom, creates life-time long habit of expressing love, but participating in the economy, as well. Cha ching is an expression for ringing cash register is no less important than the gift purchased and given to the mom.

If you ask any florist in Toronto, or Toronto restaurateur, which holiday is the bigger boost for their coveted businesses? The answer is the undeniable Valentine's Day. Simply put, next to Christmas and New Year's Eve, no celebration can come close to the magnitude of Valentine's Day. Mother's Day is the distant second in the line, but it is still very important one. It might be a heartbreaking fact, but for the economy and businesses establishments, that is no love or affection to attach importance to, just an opportunity to make money. In defense of business people, we have to realize they also have their mothers, so they also can not be so cold and calculated.

Flowers are general way of communication, expressing love, attachment and kindness. Women realize and appreciate it better than men. Floral shop owners in Toronto are best analysts and authority with the art of communication with flowers. We just do not see Mother's Day without any flowers. Where and how do we purchase Mother's day flowers? It most likely depends, if we are delivering them in person, or we need somebody to do it on our behalf. On the streets, we can see many stores selling flowers for moms, since they all moved the flowers on the street. These are established convenience and flowers stores. Flower kiosks on the roadway and major intersections, downtown or suburbs, they are the opportunity vendors. Just for the day event. Some will make big money, but most will be happy to generate minimum wage amount. The competitive pressure is just so big, and they are all exposed to the unknown elements. Nice and sunny day will boost the sale, but rain will kill the business day.

Online florists just get bigger and bigger share of market every year. People are looking for convenience and specially, when you are purchasing for a mother that you can't see in person, on her day! People have been buying Mother's Day flowers for delivery through 1-800 phone services for many years, but buying flowers online in Toronto for Mother's Day has become a new social norm, right across all demographics. Young and professionals are leading the way, but as a Toronto florist said, "People feel duty and obligation and want to get it done fast and be sure, it gets done." Nothing beats buying the flowers online for that respect.

I have purchased flowers online for deliveries in Toronto many times and still purchase flowers for my wife, from the street florist. What I miss is the next step and that is an opportunity to purchase flowers right form my Web phone. Some local floral Web sites can be viewed on my web phone, but they are not designed for completing the purchase online. Some Toronto floral websites have special packages for Mothers Day, with roses always being the most popular selection. It might not be a difficult task, for a florist to create a mobile website that I can view from my iPhone or Blackberry and complete flower purchase right from a mobile device. I can do the banking right from my iPhone today. Hope that an enterprising florist will pick up a challenge for next year.

Taking your mother to the restaurant of her choice for a special dinner ranks high on the list of Mother's Day celebration. Chinese Food delivery places are all very busy on this Sunday, bringing in extra help to prepare and deliver the food. Some restaurants require an advance reservation. Yorkville restaurants in Toronto and Danforth restaurants all have a special Mother's Day Menu for fixed prices. It is a special treat for most mothers and you should make most out of it.
