I'm late to this party but may I add some suggestions if not,too late!?
My friends have kids in their early 20's who have had lockdown birthdays and the choice of party has often been to hire a garden jacuzzi and have a beach theme with cocktails and food of choice. The small number of guests suddenly becomes appropriate and not like a punishment. Easy to put lots of thought into making it look great.
There could be an associated present in the form of a home made gift certificate for future use, eg, a promise to pay for a weekend break for her and a friend, or for concert tkts etc.
As a physical gift of small cost but great value I'd suggest a small cuddly toy. Small so she can take it with her on her travels, have it with her when she leaves home etc.
My Dad never got involved in choosing presents but a few years ago we adult kids and our families all got together with my parents and had a week in a cottage. On one of our outings he spotted me looking at a small toy and offered to buy it for me. Of course I treasure it!
As you know, it's the memories you make, often brought to mind by a small, lasting gift, that you will both treasure.
It's only impending marriage and mortgage that has stopped him buying, so if there was one in the garage, it would need chaining down!
