Mothers' Day with MIL

I know I know the title itself says a lot and many of you will of course say, don't do it.

But can someone please delve deeper and advise me like an elder sister.

We are in courtship and my fiance lives in Europe and his mother lives in India. Of course, she has the company of her husband but many times I have felt the ache in her voice when she talks about her son.

Wedding preparations are going on at both sides and meanwhile she is having her birthday on the same day as of mother's day. So I decided maybe to meet her and give a few gifts so that maybe she misses her son less and this act may make her feel that she isn't alone while waiting for her son. Someone else is also waiting with the same zeal and passion and love.

A friend of mine says that's a bad move as no MIL can ever be impressed by a DIL and I should not put efforts because that will raise her expectations once I am married and then rifts will happen.

I just want to feel good and meet some one who knows my fiance so that I can know more about him. He is a bit introvert and I am always second guessing about him. Talking to his mother makes me feel good as well.
