I have seen many people buying their mums music or movie DVDs as gifts. I think that's a good idea if your mother is a music or movie lover. You should find out what kinds of music she likes and what kinds of movies will suit her age. If you know there're some plays or concerts your mum wants to attend, you can buy theatre or cinema tickets and go to see the show with her. Your mother will be very happy when she knows that you want to spend time with her.

Some mothers have the hobby of collecting things. If your mother has this hobby, why don't you help enlarge her collection? Mine likes to collect vases. She has a large vase collection of different sizes and various colours and has been collecting them for years. Therefore, I often seek out vases of a unique-design as gifts for my mother.

Books are also popular gifts. You can find out what your mother likes to read about and buy a book on that topic. Your mother will love it if you choose the right book because everyone has her own passion and wants to know more about it.

Most mothers like plants and flowers. This kind of gift is easy to find and inexpensive. Actually your mum will probably love any flowers or plants that you choose for her. However, make sure that she isn't allergic to any particular flower and that whatever you choose is not difficult to take care of.

Another idea is preparing a surprise party for your mum. You can ask other family members to help you with this. Cook some of her favourite dishes and make a cake with her name on it. I'm sure she will be overjoyed with this nice surprise!

Above are some ideas about gifts for your mother. However, if you cannot find anything suitable among them, I suggest a gift card which allows your mum to go to the local mall and buy whatever she likes.
