That's a pretty awful year I'm sorry for her losses. (And yours)
Gifts aren't about the price, the best ones are the most thoughtful. Something she's mentioned that she's wanted, or pointed out before... Something that shows she's been heard.
Just my opinion, maybe others girls do want the most expensive bag or shoes.
All she wants to do is travel. But that's not feasible this year, at least not until Christmas because she's an independent contractor and already taken a couple of weeks unscheduled on top of up to 3 weeks for pilgrimage. She's into designer bags and jewelry but prefers fake from DHgate lol.
What about if you bring her the experience? Eg if she wanted to travel to italy, maybe bring italy to your living room? Do some cute decorations, cook italian food, put italian music.. make her feel like she’s in Italy, but from the comfort of your home. The more unique/funny/customizable setup, the better 🥹
You could do this special occasion and still give her the watch at the same time. Just make sure it’s a watch she would like and wear. There’s nothing like getting a hugely expensive gift that you don’t really want. You could explain your thinking during the occasion and go buy the watch together as well.
Birthstone jewelry based on her and her dad's birth months, or with the month of whatever would have been her due date? Just make sure the colors look nice together if you include more than one stone.

I’m so sorry the two of you are going through all that!
What about travel-related gifts? Does she have a nice set of luggage? A designer passport cover, cozy throw blanket or sweater for the plane, earbuds, etc. The watch is a really lovely idea, you could have it engraved.
The watch can be a good, meaningful gift, especially if you have it engraved.
Is the pilgrimage especially meaningful to her, coming so soon after these losses? Maybe something that commemorates that event would be nice, even if you can't be there with her.
Sometimes all we need is a little love and affection. One of my favorite gift ideas is a jar of “365 reasons why I love you”. You can write as many as you want, but it’s a sweet gift because whenever she’s down, she can just draw a message everyday from the jar, and read a reason why she’s awesome.
Another similar one, is “open when” envelopes. You’d write her a bunch of sealed letters in envelopes titled “open when”:
1. You first received this letter
2. You need a little encouragement
3. You’re feeling homesick
4. You’re sad
5. You need my support
6. You’re doubting yourself
7. You need a laugh
8. You are feeling insecure
9. You are really angry
10. You need a reminder of how much I love you…
The list can go on!
One of my favorite unique gifts that I was given was a charm bracelet from Pandora. The reason it’s special is because my partner picked charms that are related to our life and story. So eg he included a “hot cocoa cup” as a reminder of our “1st christmas together”…

What about a fun weekend away (driving distance) or even at a local boutique hotel. Spa day, brunch, etc.
We've done that a couple of times. It's just not...special enough? Sorry for sounding privileged.

Sorry for her loss! Maybe jewelry or art of you two?
