You probably won't like this advice, but if you want to get her something
she's really going to enjoy listening to (and she's willing to spend 250
bucks), I would check out the Bose Companion 20. From my experience, that is
the sound that's vastly preferred by most folks who are not sound
professionals.

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I found the sound of the original Bose
Powered Computer Speakers to be "not horrible." (Not great, but OK for
$150.) The newer ones were much too mid-rangey for me.

A couple of years later, I found a major high-end pro audio manufacturer
using the exact same speakers for their demos at an AES Show! The company
president agreed with me that the Bose computer speakers were surprisingly OK
for what they were.
