All of my female dominican friends love perfume and make up, particularly anything that is packaged attractively, doesn't even need to be expensive. One of my friends in particular is always very impressed with matching lipstick and nail polish, especially if they come as a boxed set. If Canada is anything like England, stuff like that is all over the shops at the moment ready for Christmas.
Last time I went I took some pretty little compact mirrors and trinket boxes, that were decorated on the outside with imitation gems. They were pretty and sparkly, I could have done a roaring trade selling them I think!
Also tights and stockings are always a good choice (neutral colours). Pretty notebooks, small address books, what about a nice pen engraved with her name? I'm getting a bit carried away here
