First bases are in stock in a couple places (competitors to yoyoexpert so no links), always a great first yoyo.

If it was me, I would give her a few options and then let her pick.

Out of curiosity why not?
I got about 5 different models for xmas when I was a teenager and was very unimpressed with the quality. And a lot of them are older and there are way better options on the market nowadays. They’re also cheap. And I don’t get my gf anything thats cheap 
(kinda joking but not really lol)
if she’s already breezed past the basic throws and catches and can do them with ease, i’d also recommend the first base, super cheap and really good value while still having that fun factor you need
I keep waiting and wondering if they’re coming to YYE… I have one already but I really want one of those pink ones and I need to order some string soon.
That being said, my recommendation is also the Recess First Base. Banger of a yoyo, plastic or not.
Just curious, why not?
I always recommend them to beginners, personally.
for responsive: origen is metal,shiny,and 20$.
for unresponsive: honestly get a hybrid with colors you think she will like. there is iYoyo iceberg or speedaholic FX(the signature variants have speckled plastic). or something quircky like anti-mono from sense yoyo which has plastic shell and very nice colors(the yellow is delrin and its what i have, its a looker). alternatively get luftverk 000.
or just shop around in BST some clearance sales have NIB listings for good price 
Id probably say shooting star or maybe area of effect. The first base is alot of fun but I feel like them two might make learning tricks easier in terms of the shape. For me atleast I really liked the machined plastic like the shooting star and speedaholic have compared to injection mold like the first base and AoE. I had trouble with injection molds like the first base at first when I’d slightly bump the yoyo it would die because the material is more sticky to the touch. I finally just got better with not having that issue recently. Machined plastic doesnt do that as much. Just a thought. I like what Henry said maybe show her some ideas of what’s good and let her pick.
Also I’m not positive the AoE is like that the way the first base is just assuming based on the material.
