You could combine that love with her love of candles by buying her several candles that are in southwestern colors, e.g., terra cotta (a lovely brownish orange), rust red, salmon (light pinks or pink-orange), purples, sand colors - off-white, cream, tan, turquoise, medium green, light brown, and golden yellow. Think also of the colors of a glorious sunset. You could buy different sizes of candles and holders so that, put on display together, this great combination of colors, sizes and styles could be perfectly lovely. Or, even separate, put around a room, they would add something to her decor. Certainly you could look around your house and see what colors she uses the most and go from there with your candle color choices.
Places where you might be able to get some ideas would be shops that are "new age" (they have lots of candles and often things that are southwestern because of the Native American background of this style, plus, usually, Native American music and gifts), or if you have a Native American shop (there are more around than you might think), you could maybe find something really neat there.
I don't know where you live so it's hard to suggest certain types of stores or gifts. I have some really neat mandalas, dream catchers, rain sticks, decorative magnets that are of the southwestern theme...even though my house isn't of that theme! You could probably find her a really nice calendar at any bookstore that has southwestern pictures or designs. That would be a neat idea along with the candles.

Most are reusable and last a really long time. I like the lavander one, its like pink/purpleish, but smells nice. So yeah try a few scented candles, and if you can open the jar before you buy it, sniff it to see what it would smell like to see if its good. Hope that helped and good luck.
