Had the same thing with my fiancee.
Got her a B.emilia sling. I do all the work but I make her sit in on feedings, update her on activities etc and share all the little bits of info I get all the time. Just share my excitement basically. It doesn't take much for these little beasties to grab ones attention.
She now has 6 T's and loving them. She even insists on being involved in picking any new species though she still takes a few steps back as soon as I open the tank
FYI her personal favourite in the looks department so far is A.versi or T.cupreus
