Lists are a starting point. Tell the generator one or two things about this particular person and get ideas no list would include.
Tips for choosing
- Think about what she does for everyone else, then give her a break from it.
- Photos, recipes and family stories land harder than gadgets for most mums.
- If she mentions something twice, write it down in your phone that day.

Questions
What do you get a mom who says she wants nothing?
Give time or effort instead of stuff: a planned day out, a chore taken off her list, a printed book of family photos or a letter saying specifically what you appreciate.
Is a gift card for mom too impersonal?
Not if it is for a place she already loves and you add a handwritten note. A generic card with no note is the version that feels impersonal.
