I don't think it is redundant. I would rather get gifts that I want and can use then for someone to think of something unique that will collect dust on my shelf.

I would go with your idea - I think it's a great one!

If it was me, I would love to get something like that. It then allows me to get a book that I haven't read yet & wanted to!

If she's a reader, which from what you're saying she is, I think it's a great gift.

I would love it!

For my graduation a friend of mine got me chocolates, madelines, sparkling peach cider anda gift card to Barnes and Noble, it was so awesome, I can just imagine curling up with the cider and a good book on a rainy day!

I think its great since you know she likes to read - and a gift card to B&N - there are other things there besides books, she can even use it at the cafe while she reads the books you gave her before:)

It sounds good although maybe a g.c for music instead? Does she have an IPOD? You could get her a g.c for I-Tunes, if not a cert for Virgin or Sam Goody or Amazon?
