Hey! I love crochet! What sort of thing does she like to make? If she wants to learn how to make pretty blankets, I can 100% recommend Shelley Husband's Granny Square Academy book. Its in a lot of craft stores, but its also on booktopia! I've put a link below.
If she likes making animals and stuffies, any of the Edward's Menagerie books by Toft are great as well.
If you want a solid and cheaper yarn to go with these, a good option from spotlight is their Marvel range, Spotsaver medium Yarn or Lionbrand. Vouchers are always great for these kind of gifts too.

Hope this helps, feel free to message me if you need help!
she doesnt like to make anything yet, afaik: she has just watched all of netflix, apparently, and wants to learn something new while she is still stuck at home/in bed. A total beginner.
Thanks heaps for the recs/links - will definitely checkbthem out.
Didn't know she was published. Met her years ago when she was just blogging and I bought a blanket off her. She's legit good
Yeah she is! She has about 7 books out now. She's an absolutely lovely lady and she puts so much effort into making her patterns accessible.
