send her something from amazon, so it gets there in time (cheaper, easier, but it feels like a cop out)

... The google ads seem to be suggesting T-shirts. I'm not sure why.

There's no shame in Amazon, especially since you'll need to get said gift shipped anyway.

If you spend the day shopping, you run too much of a risk of not finding anything good and having to fall back to amazon anyway.

Are you likely to find something while shopping that you can't find on Amazon?

Now that Amazon has things from other retailers sold through it, there's a ridiculous variety of awesome stuff on there. On the other hand, there are some really cool stores near where you live, so if you have some stores already in mind where you're almost *certain* you'll find something that she'll like, go shopping!

I'd go with the amazon gift card or other. That way, she can pick the coolest gift, adn it will still be from you.
