Hi, welcome to the board, hun!
Wow, that's very thoughtful and kind of you - so, bravo!
Lol, why would it offend her for you to buy a headscarf, sis? I'd think what you're trying to do is a beautiful gesture of good will and appreciation of her taking on this new challenge as an extension of her faith.
Yes, any scarf, if it's big enough, can be used as a hijab.
Hey, don't apologize - I don't see any ignorance, only a sincere desire and willingness on your part to learn. So, that's great, sis!
Also, feel free to ask any questions, as we'd love to be of any service.

My friend has started wearing the hijab whenever not at home recently. I've been friends with her since we were at primary school together. I want to get her a gift for her birthday, and she has the most beautiful head scarves so I would like to add to her collection. I have a couple of questions first that I don't want to ask her in case I give the surprise away!
Would it offend her for me to buy her a headscarf? Can any scarf, if big enough, be used as a hijab?
As I said, apologies for my ignorance, and thank you for your help.
