    или
    Что ты подарил(а) Вериной матери для её день рождения? "для" is wrong
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    No. "На" is necessary. You can omit "её", it's even better without "её".

    "Матери" instead of "маме" is a bit rude here.

    "Мама" is the most used form, as it is soft and pleasant to hear. Mums are respected members of society! At least, in the past...
    "Мать" is official or bookish, and sounds dry and harsh. Very well goes in obscenities.

    Thanks for the extra note on use of мать / мама.
