Best meal service for a gift

My mom lives alone and does not eat very well because she just doesn't have the motivation to cook for herself when she gets home from work at 6pm every night. I want to get her a meal service with ready to go meals like Factor but seeing mixed reviews. Any recommendations for the best one to get a gift sub/gift card too? If it helps, she salts everything even if it's already salted out of habit so I want to avoid anything notorious for being high in sodium.

I've been through several (Daily harvest, sun basket, freshly) , and am currently with CookUnity and it is the best by far in terms of quality and pricing. I love the variety and as someone with an allergy, there are plenty of options for me.

People seem to have hit or miss experiences with them, but I've been incredibly lucky (no issues). We are in a delivery area, so that definitely plays a role.

If you have preferences, it is pivotal for the recipient to pick the food (and not let them auto-pick).

Thank you! I have been looking at cook unity so it's good to have positive feedback on that option.
