Have you looked at any of the on-line craft and sewing sites for ideas? Not to mention the arts sites! I highly recommend Etsy::Handmades, which has a huge variety (including quality and prices) of handmade items for sale, if you get stuck for time. If you have time, this site is excellent for ideas (be respectful of copyrights at all times -- it's only inspiration that's free. :-D )
So, anyway, here's just one set of ideas: make her a piece of jewelry. Buy some Fimo or Sculpey oven-bake plastic clay, and make a pendant in the shape of a horse, horse's head, or a motif or symbol from Twilight. (Or buy these style of pendants ready-made, if you have a commercial source for them.)
Then string it onto polyester or nylon thread, or on tiger-tail (superfine metal cable inside a plastic sleeve, very fine and strong), with beads in colors she likes, and finish off with crimped-on jumps-rings and a clasp.
Or make the pendant, and string it on a nice silver chain. You can make several pendants of the same design, and use a larger one for a necklace, and two smaller ones (maybe made in mirror-image of each other) for a pair of earrings. Additional ones can be made into hair ornaments, bracelets, ankle-bracelets, a ring, even non-jewelry things like mobile-phone charms, key-chains, or zipper pulls.
And I didn't even get into the sewing ideas....
Have fun!

possibly many small issues, little interior jokes? possibly a image of you men jointly,, and a few humorous expenses out of your sought after video clips? some thing cool, yet small. I keep in mind making my chum a calendar with clever dates on them (unfastened PANCAKE DAY?) and having each month a image of her, or her and that i, or a number of our different acquaintances, or pop lifestyle icons she cherished? Woven bracelets are basic, too

You could make charm bracelets.
