My husband is right now, in his lunch hour, out shopping for a 
birthday present for me (I hope).  Everyone considers me to be fairly 
Hermione-ish, so speaking for myself... I agree with Doreen - do not 
go for the obvious.  That for me, and probably for Hermione, would be 
books.  It very rarely works.  Practically everytime anyone has 
bought me a book I have either a) already got it and read it or b) 
thought about buying it and decided not to because I didn't want it.  
I admit that I am a slightly extreme case, because I buy several a 
week - but Hermione is an extreme case as well.
I hope this helps - probably doesn't.

BTW - how about a large, unfriendly ginger cushion of a cat?
