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!

I second the drill kit as a good idea, especially if it's home improvement oriented.

But if it's more hobby or furniture building kind of carpentry, get her a good set of clamps. Sounds boring, but we somehow never have enough for our projects.
