And then a macro if she really wants a macro lens. The Tokina 35mm f2.8 DX would be a good choice, as it is both a good substitute for the 35mm f1.8 you mention and a macro lens.

I don't think a 35 mm lens is a good choice if you really want a macro lens... unless all you do is copy stand work. The focal length is just too short - working distance is too short, background selectivity is poor. Just IMHO.
