maybe a easil. But you need to get her this special kind of color pencil called Prisma Color. It uses an oil base and you can blend it like paint and it is way better then regular pencils. Charcoal is nice... The nice thing about sketching though is that it does not require much to do it. Maybe if she gets good a sketching she can dive into some other medias like painting!

If you look in book stores or artists' supply stores, you will find many books related to drawing and sketching, including those that focus on particular areas like nature, still life, flowers, (and animals, figure, landscapes, buildings, cars, etc.) Some of these have lessons that take the reader step by step through a few drawing while others have dozens of drawings to copy and work with (almost like a kids coloring book.) Get one that focuses on flowers that looks good to you in choices. Get a sketch pad the same size with a stiff back, get several pencils in various grades (or look in the front of the book and see what it suggests is needed) and get a nice cloth bag the right size to hold them all neatly with a little space left over. Some craft stores (or sections of bigger stores) will have kits for beginning drawing with instructions, a pad, pencils, eraser, stub, etc. packaged together. Simple instructions you don't get to examine before buying.

Go to a local craft store (big one like Michael's or AC Moore) and go to the artists section, find someone. Tell them you want to get an instruction book for sketching flowers and some sketch pad.
Good luck!

Your mother~scented candles. I recommend a candle catalogue. Your dad, since he liked the wallet, a personal valet like a suitcase holder that you see it hotels. It has a built in hanger, a tray for all his loose change and keys. It's sold for like 19.00~20.00 dollars. Your sister, crazy clothes, or a drawing/sculpture of a gnome or a duck(s) Maybe a painting. Irish grandma. I'm Irish, so this is a no~brainer. A teapot or coffepot, (fancy!) Maybe of an Irish symbol or green like the Emerald Isle. Or cookie cutter, also fancy! I don't know what kind of art projects, but for me a crosstich of something fancy like a spaceship (I love reading sci~fi) would do me just dandy. Polish grandma: This is a bit harder. Pass. Cousins: Acheap, plain dress that's pink . For dressup. An educational toy, like Leapfrog. Ask a cashier. Boyfriend: Netflix gift card.

Maybe a nice Easel.

U can try buying her different varieties of flowers in pots or vases, and a nice looking sketchbook, maybe some flower seeds that she could plant?

a set of different dencety pencils. Maybe water color pencils. She could sketch with them and then brush over them with water and blend it a bit.

Charcoal. Its a blast to work with!
Go to an art store and ask them to set you up with a set, dont forget paper, under $20.
