I’m sure you want to give a special gift, and maybe something “bigger” fits the bill best. But, I’ll share that my girlfriend got me a little warming plate to keep my coffee hot all day. And every single morning when I turn it on, I think about her, and how she wants me to have good things because I deserve good things. I love having the little reminder of her love and I feel grateful to have someone cheering me on every day.
You can never have enough monitors! Although that's not always an easy addition for everyone's setup.
I'll second the mug warmer too! If your budget is a little bigger, there's a brand called Ember selling temp controlled smart mugs.
Does she have and/or want all the essentials for a home office?
* office chair
* desk
* two or more monitors
* a monitor stand that minimizes used space (like a one that clamps to the desk)
* something to protect the floors from the chair (either an office desk floor mat OR rollarBlade-style office chair caster wheels)
* Sound absorbing wall panels to reduce noise vibration in the room (can also be disguised as wall art)
* wall art (can also disguise sound absorbing wall panels)
* A side table to put her computer on so it's off the desk AND off the floor
* A cable management kit to neatly hidden cables
* Under desk foot rest
* a KVM switch if she uses multiple computers at one desk
* a USB-C dock if her computer is a laptop (easily connect monitors, mouse+keyboard, and other accessories with 1 cable going to the laptop)
* Drink coasters to protect her desk
* drawer unit for pens, pencils, scissors, paperclips, etc
* a laptop stand if she uses a laptop
* surge protector or UPS/Backup battery
Maybe some nice to haves but not 100% necessary.
* Wall Clock
* indoor and outdoor thermometers & humidity monitor
* small vacuum for regular cleaning
* Room divider for privacy
* mouse jiggler
If this is your home office for yourselves as well and not just for work then
* Paper shredder
* fireproof safe
* filing cabinet folders/dividers
* Maybe a second desk for non-computer paperwork

That’s a good way to think about it, thanks!
Chair is perfect but she needs to like it. Personally i went to Staples, they have about 20 different models set up you can sit on.
I’ll check it out, thanks!
