I would add to this... make sure the gift card/certificate doesn't have an expiration date. She may have her eye toward a machine that costs more than what you are prepared to spend and may need more time to save up the remainder of the money for the machine of her dreams. We'll mark you as a keeper in our books. Have a great holiday season!!

You can spend anywhere from a few hundred dollars up to over 10 thousand for a machine.
My advice would be the same as a previous poster -- figure out how much you want to spend, then go to a reputable dealer and buy a gift card or gift certificate from them.
