1. Vintage Furniture Restoration Class: Consider gifting her a voucher or enrolling her in a hands-on workshop or class focused on vintage furniture restoration. This experience will not only enhance her skills but also provide her with a chance to learn from experts and connect with fellow enthusiasts.

2. Antique Furniture Shop Gift Card: Find a local antique furniture shop and surprise her with a gift card. This way, she can explore and select unique pieces that she can restore or repurpose according to her creative vision.

3. High-Quality Restoration Tools: Every enthusiast needs the right tools to work on their projects. Invest in high-quality restoration tools like sandpaper, chisels, drill and sander attachments, and other essentials she may need for her projects. Consider personalized tools with her initials or name engraved for an extra touch.

4. Vintage Furniture Magazine Subscription: A subscription to a vintage furniture or DIY magazine will provide her with regular inspiration, tips, and techniques. Choose a magazine that focuses on antique furniture, restoration projects, and creative repurposing ideas.

5. Custom-made Apron or Workbench: Help her stay organized and stylish while working on her projects by gifting her a custom-made apron featuring pockets for her tools and a personalized message. Alternatively, consider a customized workbench that fits her workspace perfectly, allowing her to work comfortably while showcasing her creative flair.

6. Rare Vintage Furniture Piece: Surprise her with a unique and rare vintage furniture piece that she can either restore or keep as is, depending on its condition and her preferences. Do some research to find a piece with sentimental value or from a specific era she admires.

7. Personalized Restoration Journal: Provide her with a beautiful journal to record her restoration ideas, techniques, and inspiration. Consider personalizing the cover with her name or a meaningful quote to make the gift even more special.

8. Vintage-Inspired Home Decor: Help her adorn your home with vintage-inspired decor items like antique picture frames, vintage clocks, retro mirrors, or repurposed accent pieces. These additions to your home will reflect her passion for restoration and add a unique touch to your living space.

9. A Day of Treasure Hunting: Plan a surprise day out where you visit flea markets, thrift stores, and antique shops together. Let her explore and hunt for hidden gems that she can bring back to life. Additionally, this day will allow you to spend quality time together and support her passion.

Remember, the key to finding the perfect gift is to consider her interests and hobbies. By choosing a thoughtful present that aligns with her passion for vintage furniture restoration, you'll show her how much you appreciate and encourage her creativity.

Or you can get her a star map with the date of your first kiss.
