How about a special edition of one of Steinbeck's classic novels, such as "The Grapes of Wrath" or "East of Eden"? You could also consider a collection of his short stories or essays if she hasn't read them yet. Additionally, you could purchase her tickets to a nearby theater production of "Of Mice and Men" or "The Grapes of Wrath," or even a guided tour of his hometown or places he used to frequent. Another idea could be creating a gift basket full of items inspired by the themes of Steinbeck's novels, such as wines from California vineyards or items related to the Dust Bowl era.
Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
