I second the suggestion of an Alt-Az mount. It is very easy for people to understand how to use, almost second nature. However, please shop at an astronomy shop and not a department store! I wouldn't inflict that on anyone...even my own mother in law...but then again...hmmmm.
I don't know what sort of budget you are looking at though, but I would expect you would be looking at some sort of refractor. If you go for 70mm or more, you will eliminate most of the cheap junk.
