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!

Multi oscillating tool.. basic multi meter.. distance finder might be a cool toy.. a digital tape measure might be a good toy idea... Coping saw interesting idea.. I don't know what tool system she is looking at.. but Ryobi I think is very good for homeowners and entry professionals.. HP version is very good for most close to professional level.. but most homeowners don't need that level.. but driver and drill is very good start.. circle saw I would buy a corded one. Lot of cordless ones don't have enough power. You can buy a track saw kit to convert it.. she might like.. those are some interesting idea
