Looking to buy a light meter (photography)

Hi. I posted here a couple weeks ago about buying my wife a studio in a box (3 strobes, stands, filters, box lights, umbrella thingys, etc). Anyway, I did buy it, and can't wait to give it to her for xmas. she's gonna love it.
But to get to my point... someone recommended that I buy her a light meter to go along with it.
She's a novice with all this. I don't need anything professional. This is just for her to take pics of the kids. The camera is a DSLR (Nikon D40).
On ebay and on online camera stores i see these things going for anywhere between $50 and $400 (most being 150-300).
Since I don't know anything about this, if anyone on here is "in the know" and can point me in the right direction for what i need, and more importantly, what i DON'T need, i'd very much appreciate it. BTW - the $50 range was more of what i was looking to spend... i won't, and can't spend 200-400.
Thanks in advance.

btw - i realize i should post this on some photography board, but you guys are kick arse and haven't let me down yet!
