From your post looks like you are looking for games for her. Sims is good, my wife loves playing that game. Diner dash is also a lot of fun. I have wasted quite a bit of time on that game. There is an online version, but I still prefer the retail version.
I usually find that the card games or more casual games are what my mom, wife, and sister get into. You can find a lot of card games and such on apples site for not too much. Might be cheaper elsewhere, but I haven't checked.
Hope this helps. 🙂
