About 3 hours SW of Oslo by car. Those little vikingships can prolly be bought at some taxfreeshop.

So one option is viking ships. Anything else?

Whatever she gets she should stay away from Oslo and see the smaller places. Oslo is imo nothing to see.

How much did she plan to spend?
Most things tourist buy here are stuff that reminds them of Norway when they get home. Getting something for someone that hasnt been here is worse.

I donno, I wouldnt ask her for anything much. At most maybe around $40 area..

This is harder than i though....have never bought anything for a foreigner before.

How about a big norwegian flag to cover your entire wall?

-edit- she could stop by a bookstore and get a book with some history and pictures etc i guess. They prolly have them with english text too.....dunno. just an idea.

Get the thing that Norway is most famous for. The one great contribution Norway has made to the world. The pinnicle of Norwegian accomplishment.

A big garden troll.

It's cheaper to rent than it is to own anyway... good choice.
