Just send it out to be scanned. You could even use Costco.
I think a gift that forces her to learn scanning software, prioritize your negatives with a light box and loupe, feed hundreds upon hundreds of negatives through a feeder, organize the scanned documents, and do a crap load of tedious work over the course of months wouldn't be that great a christmas gift...
... what would be great is if she could wake up christmas morning and have the prints in her hand... to flip through... tell you stories about... and feel great about.
Awwwww. Merry Christmas. (Insert Hallmark quote here)
