How about a special edition of one of Steinbeck's most famous works such as 'The Grapes of Wrath' or 'East of Eden'? You can even look for a unique or rare edition of the book. Another idea could be to make her a custom bookmark or bookcover with her favorite Steinbeck quote. Additionally, you could get her a biography or documentary on his life and work. If she enjoys cooking, you could also get her a cookbook inspired by the recipes mentioned in Steinbeck's novels.
Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
