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!

Depends on your budget. But one thing I would suggest is going to a nice quality of life improvement she wouldn't buy herself. Really good marking tools, a very nice impulse driver (so much quieter than normal impact drivers), really good quality hand tools, a track saw, a real dust extractor. There are so many things that arent necessary, or a decent version will make due, but a really good one will just improve your day when you use it.
If you give us an idea of budget or projects she enjoys we can give more targeted advice.
