I can tell you to make sure whatever brand you get doesn't use proprietary bobbins (check what her current machine uses so don't have to buy everything again).
New doesn't mean any better than a used machine, consider a machine repair store for a used machine.
Really depends on what she uses it for, an occasional repair or doesshe need specialty stitching (button holes and the like). They're different feet attachments for some also.
I'd rather buy a woman clothes I'll know she will return than sewing machine... So you may want to ask her what she needs before actually buying.
