Try fcpgroton.com and IPD. You might need to call them because groton's website seemed like it was missing a lot of parts last time I visited that I know they carried before.

I believe the OEM shocks are Boge or Sachs (same company makes both). They are OEM on most Volvo models.

For your daughter, don't go with Bilstein or Koni. These are performance shocks and I don't think she will care for the stiffer ride.

I'd stay away from Monro's as well.

I've heard good things about KYBs but have never used them, myself.

What mileage are the shocks at? My originals are at 67,000mi and ride really good. I'd like to know what to expect.
