John,
Build her one yourself. That way you can take pride in knowing where it is going and she will have it for the rest of her life.
Here is a rod I just finished for my daughter. I know it is one of a kind. It was built on a St. Croix Metallic Fuscia blank. Tha butt wrap pattern is a right facing chevron. I put her name in the middle in Sharpie. Guide eyes are purple. Just an idea.

I do like the idea of building my own fishing rods, think it would be a fun hobby...........now if I coan only find the time...........someday

John,
I was the exact same way. When am I going to find time? I do some farming, manage some hunting land, fish, hunt, work, have 6 year old.......

Then, I decided to try it. I enjoyed it enough to where I would "find" the time to do it. Take the time you watch TV and build rods. When you get up on sunday and have a cup of coffee. Outside on the porch. You would be surprised how many 10 minute sessions you can "find".
