You could serve her breakfast in bed — even her littlest kids could help prepare that — cook some burgers on the grill or treat her to a meal out at her favorite restaurant. This year, some restaurants, in a variety of price ranges, are offering Mother’s Day special menus.

But with so many diners still enjoying takeout, restaurant specials this year are tending toward gift card deals — buy a card and receive a bonus card, too, letting Mom pick the day for her treat. Be sure to check the expiration date on the bonus cards; most are good for a limited time.
