Nice sentiments CC, but I disagree.
About 15 years ago I was totally broke, and could not afford a Mothers Day gift. So I spent the day weeding her garden, doing chores around the house, and then I pulled out a cook book and made dinner for the family using the stuff in the house. It was the most appreciative she ever was on a Mothers day. So now, I get a nice card, and make a really nice dinner for her while she just kicks her feet back and does nothing.
Also sit down and just talk to her. Men are surprisingly bad a talking to their moms. We don't know what we would do without them, but when do we really sat down and just have a good, long heart to heart with your mom, and tell her how important she has been to you all these years. That means the world to most mothers, knowing they did their job right, and were appreciated.
