Some Palomino Blackwing pencils. It seems ridiculous to spend that much on pencils, but there's just nothing like them.
You should try the Palomino Blackwing! It even has a wiki article!
You've basically nailed it all down, all you need is some recommendations on notebooks. From what you've said, I would buy the following list of items:
B5 Lined MUJI Notebooks
These are absolutely fantastic. They are lightweight, the paper is smooth, and there is absolutely no bleedthrough even with wet fountain pens.
Pilot Hi-Tec C Gel Pen
It is such a pleasure to write with, that I wasn't sure if I'd go for this one or the Pilot G-Tec.
MUJI 0.5 ink pens
If you want to add some colour, I like these pens. They're not too wet, nor too dry. The Japanese factor will please her.
Blackwing pencils
I stopped using pencils after highschool, and then I bought one of these and let me tell you one thing, this pencil right here will make you want to trade all your pens for pencils.

Might this be the pencil his was referring to? They are not pure graphite but they all black and really high quality pencils.
There are also these pure graphite pencils but they seem to be more of an office supply than a gift.
