Better to be familiar with plant care before getting a bonzai. They're expensive and pretty picky.
I recommend a rubber plant. Super easy to care for and good looking as long as you invest a little effort. I received one as a housewarming gift 11 years ago and now this bad boy (his name is Edgar) is about 5'6" and nicely filled out. Nice corner plant that doesn't need much (if any) direct sunlight. All you have to do is water the thing once a week and when it reaches a height you like start picking off new buds on the top.
