-I got several journals as going away presents when I left for Italy. BUT...I found a ton of really nice ones in Rome and Florence that I actually preferred to the gifts I received.
-Travel alarm clock. This is something that I actually managed to remember, but it's good to have at least one.
-Some of the major health & beauty brands are either unavailable or stupidly expensive in Europe, like Clinique. A semester's supply of her staples would be a good idea, unless she's not choosy or doesn't have sensitive skin and can use anything.
-The deodorants were a little weird.
-Phone cards are usually cheaper in the host country. It was cheaper for me to buy the little 5 Euro cards (something like 250 minutes a card) from the tobacco store around the corner than to use the Sprint phone card my parents had given me.
-Batteries. The major brands are expensive in some parts of the Continent.
In short? Something that she can't get over there (either due to price or brand), something that's easy to pack, and something she'll actually use.
I actually got a ton of stuff before I studied abroad, and before I did my SE Asia tour, but most of stayed back stateside because it was impractical for me to take along.
