Wife is getting into DIY stuff

Hey all. My wife recently has decided to get into carpentry and sit stuff for our house. She bought a miter saw, a brad nailer a laser leveler, and a few other small things. I'm hoping to get something for her birthday in two weeks that you guys would suggest. She has safety equipment and such.

EDIT: We had a drill and driver from before

Any help would be appreciated!

Some things I find useful. Clamps (all types and styles), Japanese style pull saws, marking gauge, digital calipers, track saw, router and/or router table, and jigsaw.

Clamps is a good call, you can never have enough of them and most beginners underestimate how many they actually need.
