Purchasing New Plane

I am in search of a plane to purchse for my husband. He is getting his
pilots lisence within the next few months and I would like to give him
a gift. Just a little something to keep him in the air as much as
posible. I looked at a Piper Saratoga and it looks very nice, but I
know nothing about them. Is it a good plane to start with or should I
look for something less elaborate? Anyone willing to give a girl some
advice would be greatly appreciated. Looking in the Harrisburg or
Pittsburgh area. Thanks ever so much -Cheers
