Sounds like there is time to do this without rushing.
You do have a list of potential ukes and when you get size and preferences down, opinions will abound as to which is better.
I recommend researching a few places that you might purchase it from. Price is not the main concern (most are similar or exactly the same price for the same uke). You want to find out about the return policy if the one you get is not the one she prefers. For example, a well used site has a seven day return policy. Cost to you is the return shipping. This way you decrease the risk greatly... others say think of it as about a $30 insurance policy. You can receive full credit or apply it toward another uke.
Timing here is key and you might want to contact the site directly regarding your needs so that arrival, gifting, and the return window match up.
