I just picked up my wife a Fenix P1 for her car key chain light and she loves it. I want its intense brightness for her to carry with her car keys while walking to the car at night.
She also has a Photon Microlite II on her house keys, and a RR 2 AAA in her purse along with a Brinkman LED headlamp in her work bag for power outages at the Nursing home she works at.

Mine now has a P1 but she couldn't care less.
There use to be a SF but she complained it was too big.
She recently decided my red mag/led was now hers because she liked the color.

The only light I could get my ex gf to carry, besides a photon on her keys, was a Pink Minimag with a SMJLED clone and lithiums. Keyword pink, I guess it was cute enough for her to want to have it around.
I got my wife a pink RAZR a few months ago as a gift. So I got her a burgundy-ish flashlight on a whim and she doesn't like it. Sigh.
Get her a purse. Get her a gift certificate to a spa. Just don't buy her a light. Trust me.

wow my special someone loved her fenix e1 and uses it almost every day
Most wifeys who aren't addicts like us tend to lean towards the small lights. While I'm not a big Coast fan, I'd still suggest the mini tac keychain light.

Can be found at Fry's for 10 bucks and comes in blue, silver, black, or red (which is actually kind of pinkish). A bit brighter than a Dorcy aaa and the tailcap can be unscrewed a tad as a lockout.
Good luck!

What about a Civictor V-1?

Once upon a time I offered my sister a choice from among several lights and she glommed on to a Streamlight Keymate in silver. Uses little "pill" batteries but they have lasted a long time.

Hmmm... I asked my girlfriend last night if she wanted a flashlight - setting no limits - to which she answered, simply, "No."
Yet she still keeps me around I must be doing something right!
My advice: if you feel like you have to get her one, I'd say keep it minimal in price and in size - if she asks how much it costs, and you answer honestly, you won't want it to be over $50 - otherise get ready for a
for "wasting" your money.

SWMBO loves the Photon micro-lights, both red and white beams. She has them on her keys, purse and on her luggage. I've shown her several of my slightly larger and brighter lights like the RAW NS, AWR's Nano but she won't budge - she loves the Photon's. Oh well, at least I know if she's ever in a "situation" she'll have some sort of light to rely on.

My wife loves her Arc AAA. You can always by her a Photon keychain light and put it one of those blue Tiffany boxes. I strongly suggested having the Tiffany jewelry as well.
