What should I get for a godparent gift at a Baptism?

I haven't quite settled on what to get her yet—my plan is to piece together a gift that really hits on her interests while making sure it’s something beautiful she can hold onto forever.
She is absolutely obsessed with history, especially anything involving Egypt and the pyramids... so I’ll probably end up going with a high-end history book on that subject, maybe a nice perfume, and of course a white gold necklace with a little cross.
The way she asked me to be her maid of honor totally caught me off guard; it was so sweet it honestly left me speechless... I actually teared up because I just wasn't expecting it at all. We’re family, we see each other all the time, and I knew she was getting married this year, but I never imagined she’d pick me for such a big role.
She’s seven years younger than me, so I have a feeling she mostly wants me around to help pick out her wedding outfits, grab coffee together, and just hang out, because let's be real—if she wanted some massive, flashy gift, she would’ve called someone else instead of me.
That is literally my exact situation with my maid of honor
She’s six years older than me, I’m 16, and she’s basically my best friend and older sister rolled into one
Regular coffee dates, life advice...
Everything, honestly
I love her to death
Plus she's my cousin too
