Lykke needles are really popular right now. They're an interchangeable needle set made of polished driftwood in a great variety of sizes. The set my boyfriend got me for my birthday a few months goes for $117 on Amazon. These have the benefits of bamboo without breaking easily.
As for yarn, take a look at the things she normally knits. Socks? Go for a fingering weight with 25% nylon. Sweaters? If she uses a thicker yarn, go for bulky weight, if she uses a thinner yarn, go for DK or worsted weight yarn in large quantity. Depending on her size, 4-7 skeins I think would work. Shawls? Popularly being knit in fingering weight lately, but see if she's using larger because that's possible too. Hats? Can also be knit in a multitude of weights.
Brands that you could go for are very numerous. A really good hand dyed yarn brand is Malabrigo. It's pretty cheap but has beautiful colors and so many yarn weights. There's also a ton of independent dyers that make absolutely beautiful yarns. Some popular ones are Hedgehog Fibers and Madelinetosh, those are a bit pricier. But some of my favorites are Old Soul Fiber Co, Junkyarn, Sock Obsession Yarns, and the Lemonade Shop.
Orrrrr you could accompany her to the local yarn shop and let her go crazy and get whatever she wants. Tell her to not to look at price tags, just the yarn. It seems impersonal, but she'll love it.
