If you like lego and crafting what gift would you like for a crafty corner?

DILs birthday is coming up, I normally get her lego, but she's starting to get into other crafty bits, so I've bought her a book shelf craft thing that I know she will love.

I have around another £70 that I would normally spend on her birthday, so I would like to get her some bits for the place she builds/crafts in.

She has a desk and a chair, so something to make that area more cosy, or something practical she can use.

I'm neither crafty or a lego builder so I have no idea.

TIA

A good quality light for her desk

Magnifying glasses if she does small work

Vouchers for a craft shop

Go to the hardware store and buy her a cordless glue gun. In the USA Ryobi is the brand all the crafters buy, but I don’t know which brand will be popular in the UK. The glue guns at the craft store are junk in comparison.

A light is a great idea, and a magnifying glass will be perfect for this gift.

No craft shops around here unfortunately or I would have just taken her on a spending spree 🤣

Thank you.

I don't know why I didn't think about that, I have 3 or 4 glue guns around here they are so handy. She will need one for this book thing as well.

Thanks.
