Mother's Day is one of the most expensive holidays, with total spending expected to reach $34 billion this year.

According to a new survey, the average person is budgeting $260 for gifts and celebrations. Jewelry and special outings are expected to be popular gift choices, with nearly $7 billion spent on jewelry and almost as much on special outings.

Local businesses, like High Society Tea House in Wayne, are preparing for the surge in demand. However, owner Michael Flatt is struggling to balance costs due to tariffs on tea imports from Canada.

Despite the challenges, Flatt is grateful for his loyal customers and loves his work. High Society Tea House is a popular spot year-round, but unfortunately, they're sold out for Mother's Day.
