Love was a theme in many of the top-searched gift ideas, including a “forever heart necklace” in Ohio—but food was even bigger, with popular presents including “chocolate strawberries” in Washington, D.C., “chocolate gift baskets” in Mississippi and “edible fruit arrangements” in Oregon. Some states went for the opposite tack, with Mother’s Day shoppers in New Jersey searching for “fitness trackers” and those in North Dakota searching for “healthy cookbooks.” And then there were some more unusual ones: Connecticut’s top item was a “garden animal statue,” while Pennsylvania’s was “sheepskin pillow” and Wyoming’s was “tea infuser.” See the most uniquely searched Mother’s Day gift in your state below: **Alabama** – Baby shadow box **Alaska** – Love poem **Arizona** – Bike cruiser **Arkansas** – Jewelry **California** – Cookies **Colorado** – Cappuccino maker **Connecticut** – Garden animal statue **Delaware** – Edible arrangement **District of Columbia** – Chocolate strawberries **Florida** – Locket **Georgia** – Picture frame **Hawaii** – Cake pops **Idaho** – Bracelet charm **Illinois** – Orchids **Indiana** – Roses **Iowa** – Necklace **Kansas** – Spa gift basket **Kentucky** – iPad **Louisiana** – Ring **Maine** – Lemon bars **Maryland** – Candle wall hanging **Massachusetts** – Beach gift bag **Michigan –** Fresh fruit basket **Minnesota** – Bamboo wind chime **Mississippi** – Chocolate gift basket **Missouri** – Mini Keurig **Montana** – Homemade lip balm **Nebraska** – Bluetooth speaker **Nevada** – Diamond pendant **New Hampshire** – Birdfeeder **New Jersey** – Fitness tracker **New Mexico** – Cheesecake stuffed strawberries **New York** – Charm bracelet **North Carolina** – 3 picture wallet **North Dakota** – Healthy cookbook **Ohio** – Forever heart necklace **Oklahoma** – Wine rack **Oregon** – Edible fruit arrangement **Pennsylvania** – Sheepskin pillow **Rhode Island** – iPad mini **South Carolina** – Michael Kors sandals **South Dakota** – Manicures **Tennessee** – Custom glass artwork **Texas** – Birthstone rings **Utah** – Facials **Vermont** – Brownie delivery **Virginia** – Day spa **Washington** – Bamboo plant **West Virginia** – Willow tree figurines **Wisconsin** – Handmade flowers **Wyoming** – Tea infuser **Methodology**: Google found the most uniquely searched Mother’s Day gift by state by monitoring searches that included both “Mother’s Day” and “gift” within a short period of time.
