Ok. I'm going to give you a number of options here. Mostly they're white (because white goes with everything dahlink) but one is pink. They're all inexpensive. I'm giving you Amazon links and prices here, but you could use Goulet or maybe even get a better price on ebay. Here you go:
The Cross Beverly, about $36. Some people don't like Cross fountain pens, I love mine. This will be an attractive and reliable pen that she can be proud to use anywhere. It should come with Cross ink cartridges, which are very nice.
The Parker Vector, about $20. It's a bit plain looking, but they're superb pens, very reliable and write very well. It should have Parker ink cartridges.
The Jinhao 159, about $10. Very inexpensive, but Jinhao makes a surprisingly nice pen. It probably has a converter or can use standard cartridges. (It doesn't come with ink.)
The Jinhao 950 in white porcelain with blue chinese decoration, for less than $5.50. This is a very attractive pen (much nicer than the price implies) and the porcelain feels luxurious. (I have one with different decorations.) Also, the nib can be interchanged with the Goulet pen nibs. (Again, doesn't come with ink, probably has a converter in it.)
The Parker Urban, in pink, about $40. (It's not available in white, but that's a rather smashing pink, don't you agree?) This is a very stylish pen. She will be proud to pull it out and use it anywhere. I have one in black. Again, Parker makes fabulous pens. It probably comes with ink.
Or if you want to go very cheap on the pen and maybe get some nice ink with your budget, there's the Jinhao 599 under $5, although I will tell you you should be able to get this for under $2 on ebay.
Ink for her new pen
As I said above, the Parker pens come with ink, and they use a proprietary size cartridge. You can get a Parker converter or you can get craft syringes to refill a cartridge from bottled ink after she uses it up.
If you're getting her a beautiful pen, why not get her some lovely ink to go with it?
Wouldn't some lovely deep purple Iroshizuku ink (about $20) make a lovely impression with the white pens? I just got my first bottle of Iroshizuku this week and let me tell you, the bottle is gorgeous. Or maybe if she wants something less girly, a lovely deep turquoise for under $26?
Or if you want something a little less girly for ink, maybe you might want to look at the infamous (but glorious) Noodler's Baystate Blue for less than $13?
Or something slightly more exotic, with their Apache Sunset ink which shades from yellow to vermillion with writing?
If you want to get her some lovely ink in cartridges, because it's an easy way for her to start, you want to look at Goulet pens' web site for that, they have a lovely selection. I'll leave that shopping to you. Remember standard cartridges won't work in the Parker pens.
[edit:] If it were me, I'd get the Parker Urban, the Parker converter, the Iroshizuku purple, and the Noodler's Apache Sunset. That pen just screams style, even if it's stereotypically pink. (And they do make it in other colors, if you want to search Amazon.) She'll think of you every time she touches it.
"Tengo una pluma" es correcto, pero suena raro para hacer referencia a un "pen". Puede ser una cosa regional, pero en España nadie dice "pluma" para eso.
Pluma se usa para "quill" o para "pluma estilográfica", nunca para "bolígrafo".

Tengo una pluma = You have a quill, a feather or a plume, not a pen.
Tengo pluma = It's an expression meaning you're gay.
Tengo un bolígrafo = You have a pen.
Some helpful advice from a (former) cabinet/furniture maker who has surgically repaired lots of abused drums.
1st. Do not use Gorilla glue. It foams up when exposed to air/moisture and will make the crack expand. Now...
Get some soft pine blocks... a couple of small pieces of 1x4 would work fine. Using a belt sander and/or planer, shape them to a concave and convex radius that matches the shell (to clamp inside and outside). Get some wood glue (Elmers, Titebond, etc) AND a syringe... and a few quality clamps. Finally... get some heavy plastic wrap or, even better, cut up an old, noncoated drum head.
The process:
Remove the lugs around the repair. Lay the shell on its side (like you would set it up to play it) on a table/workbench with the crack area hanging off the side.
Using the syringe, inject wood glue every where you can get into the crack. Use too much, wipe off excess with a wet rag, repeat.
Once your sure you have it all coated in glue. Wipe one last time, then put the drum head piece over the repair and clamp the blocks inside and out (use a soft rag or cloth under the outside one to prevent scratching. Clamp the shit out of the blocks. Check for, and wipe off any glue that has squeezed out (be especially wary of the bearing edge).
Let sit for 24 hours. Remove clamps, remove mylar, voila. Good a new. Well... almost good as new. You're gonna have a dark stain/mark inside the shell from the glue. Sand it off or leave it alone.
Our team uses a variety of different types: Gorilla Glue, Titebond, and more. Gorilla Glue is really good, but just be sure that you wipe off the excess or it will expand. Titebond is really reliable but it takes a very long time to dry. Zapagap is pretty pricey but it dries insanely fast and it is really strong.
Here's a link to all of the glues: 1. Gorilla Glue can be found at Home Depot 2. Titebond We put the Titebond in to smaller containers which can be found here 3. Zap a Gap
EDIT: We also use something called InstaSet Accelerator. It should be used only in emergencies along with zapagap.
It sure looks like this one on Amazon.
Overstock has one that looks very similar, but I can see a couple differences.
If you need any help, I'm relatively new at this myself! I only started quilling a few months ago and I'm in loveee with it.
I bought this set off amazon and I -really- like the paper. It's standard width and the colors are represented really well in the picture they have on there. I don't know anything about cutting your own, but like everyone says, that sounds like oodles of work. :( Good luck!
Similar to the chubby gorilla bottles but with a steel needle tip.
10Pcs 30 ml Needlle Tip Glue... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071G84WW5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I ordered these from amazon for use in a smoant s8, they work great and the price is good, $9.99 for 30 15ml bottles. https://www.amazon.com/AGEOMET-Plastic-Dropper-Funnels-quilling/dp/B077GKBQT6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538666346&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=needle+bottle&dpPl=1&dpID=41v6CEpcRFL&ref=plSrch

I love pen pals. Sorry if my entry is short and uninteresting. I went ice skating today and, while racing to see how fast I could go, I busted the back of my head on the ice so loud that it sounded like a concrete block hitting the ice. I am a bit out of it. But I do love to hand write letters for the mail. I am a huge fan of the postal service and handwritten anything.
I saw something a few years ago about crimping ribbons at home with something like this

Here is the mobile version of your link
it depends on how small the the opening is, but i can almost guarantee that these will work:

I like these bottles. I just put my glue in one of these and I'm good to go. ☺
There's no such thing as a stupid question either. Hope this helps you!
