She doesn't need anything.
Spend the day with her and tell her that you love her. Maybe bring her grandkids with you.
If you want to get her a card spend th $6.
...unless she is cantankerous, then just mail the card to her.
You could have been a "hero son" by thinking about this months ago, but you didn't.
With only 3 days to go, you're pretty much limited to a large bouquet of flowers (complete with a vase and water) and whatever is her favorite dessert.

Take her out for a nice dinner with the family, let her pick where she wants to go, because you’d probably take her to some sports bar.
Don’t laugh but a cheap android tablet with a simplistoc setup to be able to connect her to facebook and video chat apps to stay in touch with the family. If she is cognitively with it she can learn.
“Okay, Mom, I promise I’ll take you home when this 13th inning is over.”
I was thinking more along the lines of her picking the type of menu she wanted, not having to decide between blue cheese or ranch on her wings.
Or a punk rock concert. "C'mon Mom....the mosh pit is approved for all ages".
One of those picture frames that is connected to the wifi so the kids can upload pics for her.
Picture Frame
Someone can be a "gatekeeper" to make sure the pictures are legitimate.

Actually I forgot about it until she reminded me today while I was repairing her deck.You could have been a "hero son" by thinking about this months ago, but you didn't.

My 88 year old mom really enjoys her tablet
Gift Cert to her favorite hair dresser. Take her out for a nice fancy dinner. Tickets to a show/concert(took my mom to see an Irish band last year). Did the flowers for a couple years but stopped. Mom will turn 95 this year.
Compose a handwritten letter that expresses how much she means to you. Include how she was a major part in shaping, steering and molding you into the man you are today. List some specific events or milestones that shares credit with her.
Guarantee she will tell you this is the greatest present she ever received.
Shalom
Tell her Happy Birthday from Mr. Potter

When my Dad turned 80 I flew up from Dallas to Cape Cod and surprised him. My gift was I made a list of my 10 favorite memories of him when I was a child, including once when he pulled me out of class i was in the forth grade to go and watch his high school play in the Mass Div 1 Hockey Championship. I put a lot of thought into it and told the ten stories/memories I hold most dear. Oh ya, I also showed up with a dozen donuts.
I def have 10 Dad but 10 Mom memories will be tougher. We are surprising her for lunch.
Does she have Photo Frame? My wife loves her''s....keeps her i touch with family member thru pictures especially great grandkids.
PS: Missed the previous post for this idea.
We got my ma one (she happens to turn 90 in october) and she has it turned off 99% of the time. I asked her why and she said she already looked at the pictures. So one of my brothers hooked her up with "Frameo" so we can all just send new pictures to it. So sent some new pictures to it and waited until the next day and asked her how she like them. She said she did not know, she would turn it on later and let me know. I told her to keep it on so she can see them when someone sends them. She asked me if I expected her to sit there all day and stare at it incase someone sent some pictures.
If you are near to where she grew up get in the car, drive to where her town is and let her tell you stories about her neighborhood, school, friends' homes, etc. Ninety year olds simply want to be heard, reminisce, and have family around interested in her life experiences. They also want to draw upon good memories. It's comforting.
My mom always says when we struggle with gifts that time and attention is all she needs.

Is Tom back yet?
Have you thought of a massager? Maybe not like this one but there are several out there for feet and achy muscles.

Tell her you love her so much, you married her and knocked her up a couple times.
My mother has one and she loves it. Family members post pictures of events and grand-kids adventures.
My parents love their frame. I have recommend it as a gift to many people.
Happy birthday to your Mom! What a great time to spoil her!
I always get my mom those fancy shiny golf balls. I try to make sure she has enough to fearlessly hit them into water hazards so her friends know she's a badass.
You could just get her what you got her last year. She probably won't remember you already gave it to her.
So the apple rolled a really long long way from the tree? Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
