Would you be offended if you were my cousin?

She's lovely. I think she might meet someone nice.

You don't have to ask her explicitly. Just something along the lines of, "I saw this and was wondering what you thought about it? If I was single I would."
Just buying is unreasonable and potentially putting her in a really horrible position.

Agree with this.

It’s not an awful idea, @DragonMama3 . I assume she’s looking for a christian so it’s better for her to go to a place where she’s likely to find one.
You just need to go about it sensitively

I really recommend your cousin giving this a try.

Maybe talk to her about it. Ask her if she'd like to go and maybe suggest that it may be nice to go with a single friend? She can just say no if she's not interested.

Then don't buy it. You'd be buying a present that says "please do something you're not convinced you want to do/please change your behaviour"

That's not what Christmas and birthday gifts are for. Save the conversation for another time.

By all means offer to buy her a trip somewhere she's said she'd like to go. Or with a group she's said she'd like to try. Otherwise no.
