Those are Hallmark Holidays. Our family doesn't do gifts for those, but we do give cards: the daughters love 'em, so I give 'em. But they're not always Hallmark cards...
My mother and two grandmothers have been gone for a while, and my daughter's mother has been gone nearly 16 years, so not much activity on Mother's Day here.
Likewise for Father's Day, I'm the end of the line. My girls are usually good for a card and/or a call. One lives in town; the other one is 500 miles away so we're all together two or three times a year. We have a 3 way text group, and if I don't respond after a few hours, I usually get a call. It's all good.

Keep it going, John. Family is so important, no matter how "family" is defined.
Dad. Give me the keys. You’ve had too much popcorn.
There's melted butter all over those keys. Too slippery to start the family car.
Another “nail on the head” piece, Bob. It is likewise in my family. I think my salad spinner on a shelf in the gift box helps me qualify.
I didn't get to the fancy coasters to make mom or dad smile
