WEST Australians have a mother complex.
A new study has found sandgropers will spend on average $67.10 each celebrating Mother's Day today — the highest spend per person in the country.
It's 20 per cent more than South Australians, whose residents average the lowest at $56.20.
But community leaders are urging West Australians to do more than just dip into their wallets to tell mum they love her.
Across the country Australians are predicted to spend just over $1.4 billion this Mother's Day. An IBISWorld study found most people will take their mother out for a restaurant meal, buy her flowers or give her a gift voucher.
The study found house appliances were the biggest growth market for presents, up 4.7 per cent on last year.
IBISWorld Australia general manager Dan Ruthven said many children saw homeware as "functional".
"Vouchers are a safe and easy option, especially for those struggling for ideas or time," he said.
Mr Ruthven said eating out was always popular because it took the stress of cooking away from the day.
IBISWorld senior industry analyst Sebastian Chia said West Australians would spend more than residents in other parts of Australia because wages were higher. The high cost of living also meant some products were more expensive in WA than elsewhere.
Archdiocese of Perth spokesman James Parker called on West Australians not to "cut corners" by turning only to material goods for present ideas.
"Our nation is living in an age when material possessions are easier to acquire than ever before," he said. "Gifts are great, but not at the expense of life-giving relationships."
