His mams birthday? HELP?

Yes, it does.As long as you bring a nice hostess gift like that and take the time to put it in cute wrapping since it is her birthday it will be enough.Don't get too chummy though,don't buy her a birthday card unless you can find a really simple one or one of those blank cards with a really beautiful picture and then just write happy birthday Mrs.Whatever, signed, your full name.Let her decide how friendly she wants to be and she will at least respect you until she knows you enough to like you
