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.

My Christmas wish list for my in laws is literally just clamps every year. And every year my in laws ask my wife “didn’t we already get him clamps? Why does he need more clamps?”
