I never did anything specifically for Mother's Day, because it was so close to my mother's birthday, sometimes falling on the same day.
We had an office manager at my old job who managed to strong-arm most of her small staff into giving her something for Mother's Day. My first clue about this idiocy was when one of the staff asked me what I was getting for the office manager for Mother's Day. I asked why the he!! they were getting her ANYTHING, and the cow orker said feebly, "Well, she's a mother." I pointed out that she wasn't MY mother.
