From your description of their situation, it sounds like you are thinking that a gift card might put a burden on her to try and redeem it? Personally, I like gift cards, because then I can pick out what *I* want. I don't really like getting/giving things that aren't really wanted - it seems such a waste.
If you don't want to go with a gift card, I think something luxurious and girly to pamper herself with (yummy, rich body lotions and oils, etc.) would be nice. If she's a single mom and not well-off financially, she probably doesn't spend money on those types of things for herself very often, I'm guessing, so that would be a real treat that she wouldn't have to feel guilty about having.
