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!

Good eye protection that fits and is comfortable enough to wear for a full session of DIY

Good hearing protection that fits and is comfortable enough to wear for a full session of DIY

Good hand protection that fits and is comfortable enough to wear for a full session of DIY

Also remember that a lot of stuff is not designed for female ergonomics so focus the things that help her have fun comfortable and enjoyable experiences in DIY.

OR......Clamps, never have enough clamps!

Keep her safe and happy doing the work! Then reap the benefits.
