The best choice for Lisa is ultimately the Old Ragged Scroll. Pick your gift then head to the nearby restaurant to confront Sara.

Make your way to the city gates and speak with Donna about the final book. Donna sells flowers so you know the drill.
6
After a few choices, Donna will recommend you speak with Flora, the shop owner. Flora is only around during the day so change the time if necessary. She will reveal the final choice, the Cecilia.
