My guinea pigs have enjoyed plastic pipes to run and hide in. You can get them at hardware stores. Just make sure you get them wide enough, so she doesn't get stuck!
A cheap and disposable alternative we used to use are round oatmeal containers, but the piggy might eat it.
The most popular thing I've ever bought for my guinea pigs (I've had 11 over the course of 15 years, and I have 4 currently) were plastic igloos. They all love to hide in and sit on top of the pigloos!

The best toy is a same-sex or neutered buddy. They are extremely social animals and do not do well on their own.
They love hiding spots, so an igloo or carboard box with a whole cut out is a lot of fun for them.
DO NOT get them balls or wheels, they are extremely dangerous for pigs.
Paper bags stuffed with hay are also very popular.
Toilet paper rolls (cut lengthwise) stuffed in hay.
Section off a safe part of a room for them. Floor time is very important for their physical and mental health.

With no offense meant at all, consider this. Your pet is a rodent. They most enjoy CHEWING. TOYS are less what they need than activities and distractions that allow that natural occurance to happen as it's available to them.
I offer this, and again with no offense to any similar animals. I truly detest a "RUN RING" whereby an animal is offered something to "exercise" in. They don'thave them in their natural environments, why do we, as humans suspect that a Treadmill, is analogous to a rodents pleasure centers???

They love tunnels and things they can climb into and around.

Cavies like hiding and burrowing, so a piece of plastic sewer pipe may be appreciated.
