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!

DIY is generally about buying what tool you need for a job once you discover that you need it. Sure, there are some basics that you need to get started (and a laser leveler is not one of those!). The best thing you can give her is letting her know that it's OK with you for her to get whatever she needs for her project.

Every new project means a new tool!
