Are you the kind of guy who wouldn't give your wife a Mother's Day card because she's not your mother?
Precisely.
I also do not give anyone a store-bought card for any reason whatsoever. The fact that there is an industry for a folded piece of paper that says "I have no imagination so I dropped $5 on a folded piece of paper" is why we are broken.
I rode on a Mardi Gras float on Valentine's day 
But we are planning on doing a date this weekend for Valentine's Day. We both have decided not to do presents for V-day but we will do a date.

If you have kids with your wife, that makes you an shiny happy person. Oh well, I'm sure you knew that.

No argument there. I don't see it as a big deal either way, but I can certainly appreciate that opinion. But that doesn't mean you should do nothing.
I ended up with a temp of 102.7 over the weekend starting Saturday morning. Thankfully the wife and I aren't big on valentines day anyway and had no plans.
In reply to Duke:
I make sure the kids do something nice for their mother. Clean something, make breakfast, whatever. Then I go see my own mother. It's not wife day.
There are a number of hot moms around here that by your definition... I should be doing something nice for. So, I'm reconsidering my position on the subject.

I'm that guy, and while you may think it makes me an shiny happy person, she's still not my mother, and you're a Bob Costas.
But I'm sure you already knew that.
If she's decided it's worth bedding you and squeezing out your no-account spawn, you should at least put a crowbar in your personality and thank her for it on the day designated for thanking people that do that.
Hey, Mother's Day is in May. This is the Valentine's Day argument thread. 
He started it

DAD???!!
I got the GF a plush robe (a: so she would stop stealing mine and b: it's really soft and comfy so when she wears it she'll think of me, yes I'm that sappy shutup) and a halmark card. Easy enough and I figured that would be the end of it.
She got me a very nice bottle of bourbon, a box of chocolates (to share), a cheesy card (actually the one I almost bought for her, great minds and all that) and a GoPro for the racecar! My GF FTW!!! 
My girls like chocolate. They love it, especially the quality stuff, so it's an opportunity to do a small thing that means something because they know I'm thinking about them. I don't do cards for any occasion.
I suggested that she "might" want to pack an over night bag. We took off Friday night and drove to Grand Lake, Co. Around midnight, I woke her up and gave her a small piece of hand made jewelry and some nice Lindt chocolate I got at dollar tree. It made her smile, and that made it all worth while. She makes me happy, So I made her happy. What's "Hallmark" about that?
