Looking for Suggestions for Setting Up Ipad 2 as Gift

[gsbeliever]

I just joined your excellent site and I'm looking for suggestions on how to best set up my wife's Ipad for Christmas morning. I did go online and download the Ipad User's Guide, but that's as far as I've gotten. I'm a complete newbie and this is the first Ipad I've ever held! I should probably mention my wife is big on Words w/ Friends, Facebook, and some online bingo game.
thanks in advance for any suggestions and Happy Holidays!
