Hey dzturtle,  
 
Here's another thought. Since your turtle buddy is a senior, maybe you could get her a leather-bound datebook or planner with her name engraved on the front. I got one of those for my graduation and it has been invaluable to me since I started working in the 'real world'. As a matter of fact, it's sitting next to me right now!  
 
I don't know what shops are near you, but I assume most malls have a shop or two that carry this kind of gift and can personalize it for you. And, best of all, they're not extremely expensive. 
 
Good luck! 
Carrie
