Manhasset for home use - it's the standard for a reason.
For portable, I keep a K&M heavy duty in my car at all times. It's very sturdy but not insanely heavy like some other models.
Other than clarinet stuff, for a practice room you'd want at bare minimum a chair (one with a back, but no arms and doesn't move, swivel, or rock) and music stand. Some kind of mirror is helpful too.
Really any space will work for practicing; if you have a dedicated room for listening to music, then that will be perfect.
As for clarinet stuff, if she majored in music she should know what equipment she wants. I would either ask her specifically what she's looking for or take her to a local music store and let her pick out what she wants.
To give you an idea on price, reeds are usually $20-30 for a box of ten (that will last a month or two depending), mass-produced mouthpieces are around $100, handmade mouthpieces are $300, and clarinets themselves cost around $3-4k bought new.
Then getting a good stand will feel absolutely amazing... the classic Manhasset or if you still want foldable/portable, this one is a joy to own.
under $50? manhasset is the way to go

Not sure what your price range is or what your bf has but here are some ideas (I'll try to go from cheapest to most expensive) :
A nice dark rosin. http://www.amazon.com/Original-Hill-Dark-Rosin-Violin/dp/B000F3FQP6
Chair strap. http://www.amazon.com/Xeros-Anchor-Endpin-Rest-Cello/dp/B000FCJUV8/ (This is the kind I have. There is no substitute, if he doesn't have a strap like this then he really needs one. If you are buying one note that you get one with a circular holder for the end pin and not a V-shaped one. The V-shaped ones are for basses and don't work nearly as well)
Sheet music. I am a fan of the Music Minus One (MMO) series. However a nice anniversary gift might be duet music. I can help think of some good duet music if you want but would like to know a little more about your playing level.
Bow rack. I bought my rack at Home Depot and it looks like this. (actual pic, sorry no link) http://i.imgur.com/Ytww0.jpg They're just hooks, but I really like mine
Cello CDs. There's a lot of good recordings out there but that's for you to find, I can give some suggestions if you want.
Music stand. http://www.amazon.com/Manhasset-Model-Sheet-Music-Stand/dp/B0002FOBJY/ If all your bf has is a wire stand then this is a great gift. There's also stuff like pencil holders, lights, and other stuff that would make good gifts as well.
Cello stand. There are lots of stands out there, I highly recommend a stand that supports the neck of the cello like this. http://www.amazon.com/Stagg-Foldable-Stand-for-Cello/dp/B003ZUEQLG/ref=sr_1_6?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1343515413&sr=1-6&keywords=cello+stand
There are some other cool stuff you could get, but may come off as offensive.
A practice mute. I would suggest an ebony comb style mute kind.http://www.amazon.com/JSI-Ebony-Cello-Mute/dp/B000F3HK5U/ over a "tourte style"
A tuner and or metronome. I use http://www.amazon.com/Matrix-MR500-Metronome/dp/B0002F6ZJI/
A wolf tone eliminator. http://www.amazon.com/Generic-Cello-Wolftone-Eliminatr-Brass/dp/B003KWGW9I

You can still buy them new. I would consider a Vintage as something not in production.
Still a good price for something that can be extremely useful.
