Those are some good ideas and I'll add mine--it doesn't have to be chocolates and flowers. My Mom's getting a package of pastrami and all the fixings from Katz's! She's been jonesing for that for some time now.
But I have to add: Mother's Day this year (2009) is May 10th. I should know, it's also my birthday. Postal rates go up the next day, May 11th.

Thanks for adding this. (Everyone, Susan has written a nice resource, and from the enlightened perspective of a professional dementia caregiver.)

Good ideas
Here are some more
an adult picture book(ones with pictures of babies or animals are great)
anything to do with music
a classic musical movie on VHS or DVD
an audio or video sing along of their favorite songs
some body lotion with a hand massage
do not forget the gift of yourself
either by phone call or in person
