Paris for the day?

My sister is 30 next week and I was thinking of getting her day tickets on Eurostar to Paris.
Is it worth going there for the day?
I am under 26 so my ticket would be £49 and hers would be £59 if booked in advance.
We have both been before but that was more than 10 years ago.
I'm not sure if that's a good present or if she may just want something else for the money...help!

My sister lives in London BTW so we would be going from there.
If your going on the Eurostar then it takes about 2.5 hours to get to paris so if you get the 8.30 am train you will get there about midday - which isn't too bad (you'll need to get there for 8 to check in and so i'm guessing leaving the house at about 7) - you could probably get the last train home as well so have quite a while out in the evening.
I think it sounds like a good idea - but then i'm always doing random extravegant things like that.
Alternatively if one of you can drive then you could do a day trip to northern france on the ferry (and go 1st class) or eurotunnel - Calais isnt that exciting but the center of Boulogne is lovely or there are lots of nice places to visit. Plus overnight trips cost the same as day ones as well.
