Your mother will enjoy it if you invite her out for dinner on Mothers Day. This provides her some time off, since she will not need to worry about cooking dinner. And it may also provide her with some special fun, if you pick a restaurant which is special for some reason: it may be the restaurant you know she loves, or a new restaurant where you know she wants to go, or even a restaurant that you feel she will like. Dining out on Mothers Day doesn't mean stopping at the nearest fast food place. For it to be a true gift, it needs to be special and totally focused on what Mom would like.
