If you need a cheap one try for a second hand one in your area. If your girlfriend is getting commisions for her work she will soon be able to get a new one.

I use a Huion H610Pro, had it about three years. It's been pretty good, but the advice to check into a used Wacom is solid too.

Make sure to install the latest drivers, avoid the ones that may come with the hardware, they will probably be outdated.
I have also found this video helpful when installing any tablet with GIMP.
Sorry as a new user I couldn't post the link.
