I agree with the others, make some small sample of it with a long letter=HANDWRITTEN=telling her how much you love her and what you are making but it isn't finished yet.
I'll bet that handwritten letter will be a lovingly kept gift, along with whatever she gets from you.
Very few people ever hand write letters any more..sadly, even me. And I treasure the few that I still get from little ones who can barely scrawl out what they want to say.
