Maybe give some free advice about: Gift Giving?
Print off some of her photography and collage it in a yellow frame along with a pic of you two.
Get twine and attach it to the upper part of her ceiling while she's away all around her room and clip on photos that she took and of her friends with laundry clips
Buy her a Polaroid camera! (Kinda pricey tho...pale yellow one?)
Cheap but cute jewelry maybe from Forever XXI, Charlotte Russe, etc.
Clothes!
Lotions/perfumes
Make her a friend coupon book. Make little "coupons" such as "Starbucks Date, my treat" or "free 30min massage" or "Bake your favorite dessert for you coupon"
Make a memory book full of photos of you too.
Hope some of these help?!

Maybe the best gift is not going to be a store bought gift but something you do for her that touches her heart.
SO how about organizing a surprise birthday party for her. You'll need to check with mom if its okay for hold at your home as you'll need her aid in doing this, or talk to your friends mom in secret and mention you'd like to organize a surprise birthday party for her and see if her mom will help. I've done this one with friends to cooperate. took my new husband out to dinner while a sister and all our friends arrived bringing potluck items and gifts. When we got home, they all jumped out of our bedroom yelling surprise. He got to see some school friends he hadnt seen in quite a while. So see if her mom will allow all your mutual friends, or any who she knows but you don't, to show up after you take her somewhere like a matinee movie early on a weekend. When you return to her or your house, the friends have put up streamers and balloons.
So using her favorites, how about ordering a cake with pale yellow frosting and maybe a photo transfered to the cake. Have everyone instruct to come with some money to put towards ordering pizza if thats what you'd like. You provide pop and icecream and cake. Maybe a friend would be willing to bring some of those things. A gift might be a collection of small girly type things at 5 to 10 dollars at most. Each puts their gift into a container of some sort, like a good size make up bag, a new purse gift for her from you, a basket, if she's into wearing hats, a hat she'd wear that's upside down used as the container and the small gifts don't even need to be wrapped, just have stickers available to put on their little gifts to put their name so she knows which is from whom. Idea's might be a nice glittery nail polish, a nail art kit, a pretty hair clip, a flavorful lip gloss, a pair of frilly panties, necklace, earrings, makeup, hand and body lotion set, you get the picture I hope. the friends may not be able to afford big gifts either so this helps all. the surprise is what makes it special. Have paper available, all the same to be stapled together or put into a binder form. Each person gets to write what they appreciate about her and perhaps add in a photo of something that reminds them of her. I guarantee she'll treasure that gifts for decades after she's forgetton any store bought gifts she's received. Its the special efforts and planning and touches like this that make a gift stand out. My only mothers day that i remember what I was given by my daughters is the one when all 3 wrote poems for me about how they saw me as their mom and gave me breakfast in bed. I was so overwhelmed by it all, I cried. I still have those poems and their home made cards and they were all teens at the time they did this for me. Its still my favorite mothers day. So if you want something unforgettable for a person who pretty much has everything and doesnt really need anything, this will do it. Like I said, you'll need aid of your peers and both moms in pulling this off. But this would never happen if you didn't organize and plan it and That is your gift to her, making this happen. good luck.
