There are a variety of ways to spoil moms this weekend for Mother's Day.

The National Retail Federation says flowers and greeting cards are the top mother's day purchases. It is estimated that people will spend $3.2 billion just on flowers.

Linda Vinci, the owner of Braach's Flowers in South Norwalk, says the closer it gets to Mother's Day, the busier the store becomes.

"Mother's Day is a very big holiday because people order for their mothers, for their wives for their grandmothers, for people that are like mothers to them versus Valentine's Day, which is our next busiest holiday," says Vinci.

News 12's Mark Sudol spoke with Linda Vinci, the owner of Braach's Flowers in South Norwalk.

Vinci says most people come in and ask the staff to create bouquets. She says other gift options at the store include candles, signs and purses.

The National Retail Federation says dinner or brunch is the next most popular gift for moms.

News 12's Mark Sudol spoke with Matt Storch, the owner of Match Restaurant in South Norwalk.

It's believed that people will spend $5.9 billion on dining out.

Other gift ideas include jewelry or a spa day.
