If you are trying to bring it in under budget build the support for the backdrop yourself out of PVC pipe its cheap and easy to cut and glue. As to the lights rather than several low end lights you would be tter to get her a single monolight of some quality and add others later. If you do still want a complete set Westcott offers a decent beginners light set. . If she has a high end Nikon camera and already has a speedlight another option is to use the speedlights the builtin one on higher l;evel nikons will ack as a wireless commander to fire speedlights off the camera. you can put them on light stands with umbreallas or softboxes just like studio lights

Hmmm, not sure how I can help you here.
But you're a great husband for doing this for her. :)
