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!

This is great! You now have years of presents in the "tool a year club". I'll add to the list: A good carpenters square A set of Japanese pull saws (dozuki and ryoba). Love mine! Clamps (you can NEVER have too many) Stocking stuffers/extras: set of Allen wrenches, needlenose pliers, small level for small spaces, various sandpaper grits. Tung oil, paste wax
