To not give Gran something on Mother's Day?

We are having My Dad and his wife round this Sunday for DS birthday. But with it being Mother's Day I feel obliged to get something from the Grandchildren for their Gran, my Step-mother. She is a good Gran, but was a rubbish step-mother. So I'm really on the fence. We are a bit skint this month so can't really afford anything to be honest. But at the same time I wouldn't want her to feel hurt. Do other Grans get Mother's Day cards and gifts for being Grans?

I do a card to my MIL because dh is dead, and I do it to Granny because it's from me and ds. Tbh as she has dementia it's more so that my FIL knows I'm thinking of her. Likewuse taking card and flowers to my mum in the nursing home when she doesn't know one day from the other, it's more for the staff really which is a bit shit.

I have become completely sick of Mother's Day like most other people. My ds may produce a card which in theory will be nice but I find the whole thing vomit inducing. There are still some £1 daffs in the shops so I'd do that.

Hi, thanks everyone for all the responses!

A homemade card and a small bunch of daffodils it is 😊

GoldDuster that is really funny! Made me laugh this morning! I get all the Mum's and the Grandma's a bit of something. Just a card and flowers or a Best Mum mug. I sometimes cook dinner but this year I am working!
