Levenger has a good selection of pens. I'm with sigmagirl, I love my Lamy more than my Mont Blanc.
That said, you can get beautiful "vintage" fountain pens on etsy and the other four-letter site that starts with an "e".
MCP, for future reference: in case you didn't know, you can do a lot of research on your own using search engines like duckduckgo or google or whatever and you'd be amazed at how much information you can uncover/discover that will help you make a decision when you're considering buying something. Fountain pens are a tricky gift for a lot of reasons. You get an inexpensive one and it doesn't "go" with quality stationery. Plus the nib is crap, so the ink doesn't flow, and it's a throw in the drawer (or trash) kind of gift.
Crane is nice, but there are other options. It's not my personal favorite but it was my grandmother's first choice. Again, research your options. What's your budget? You can get lovely personalized embossed note cards for under $50 and those are an impressive gift.
