It could be an antique dresser, a vintage chair, or a small table that she can transform into a beautiful and personalized piece. Not only will this gift challenge her skills, but it will also provide her with a sense of achievement upon completion.

Some popular options include "Furniture Makeovers" by Barb Blair and "The Complete Guide to Furniture Upcycling" by Annie Sloan.

5. Subscription to a DIY Website: Consider gifting her a subscription to a DIY website or an online platform focused on furniture upcycling and restoration. This will give her access to a wide range of projects, tutorials, and a community of fellow upcyclers who can inspire and support her on her creative journey.

6. Customized Decals or Stencils: Purchase custom decals or stencils that can be used to create unique designs on restored furniture pieces. These can be personalized with her name, favorite quotes, or patterns that resonate with her style and interests.
