On this occasion, I would like to send her something better than Pocky's and kanji tee-shirts. However, I've already come to a deadlock. I have no idea what would please a young American lady. I'm thinking of spending 10,000 - 20,000 yen, shipping excluded.
What would you like to receive from a Japanese uncle figure? Would it be okay if I actually asked her?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

That size of a gift will rival maybe even her own parents. I think 5000 yen is more than enough for non-family and someone you have never met...though obviously you will be the best judge.
