Don't go to Jared, just get her Jewel Up

Ok, that might not be the best holiday gift-buying advice, but you'll certainly save a boatload of money. Jewel Up is a game in the same style as Bejeweled. In Jewel Up you need to connect as many gems of the same color as you can to remove them from the game board, and to also transfer their power to the tubes/generators for each color. Once each is full, you move on to the next round. 

Strategically, it is probably best to watch the tubes and see which color you need most, and connect those gems. (You connect by holding your finger to the screen and moving it across adjacent color gems.) However, I choose to simply connect the ones I feel like connecting, and then I can be pleasantly surprised when I manage to fill all of them. (I guess I like the bright colors.)

At any rate, if you don't like the Bejeweled style of games, you probably won't care for Jewel Up either. On the other hand, if you're one of the many, many fans of this type of game, it's probably worth giving Jewel Up a shot.
