My niece is having her Graduation Party in two days and I need to bring along as a surprise, an item or gift (it can be absolutely ANYTHING, even a food) connected to the message of: חכמת נשים בנתה ביתה

I would really appreciate if you could come up with any bright sparks/creative ideas to help me out.

Thanks so much in anticipation

My immediate thought is Legos, so unoriginal.

You can actually buy lego sweets.

Thanks for the idea. I also want the item to bring out a message, not just the literal translation of "building".

I was just going to say that in response to cinnamon's post. I guess we all remember last week's sedra.

And also the metal mirrors that went into the making of the kiyor in the mishkan.

If you are happy with the idea, great.

If you aren't sure, maybe approach it the other way. What small gift would you think she might enjoy? Let's put our heads together to make a drasha.

I'm sure you can find a book title to fit the theme. That might be appreciated.

What's your price range?

Baking equipment. The way to a mans heart is through his stomach, a happy spouse is a happy house.
(Or whatever cooking utensils you think she needs.)

Not to be nitty gritty, but Ohn ben Peles did not have a husband, Ohn ben Peles was the husband who was saved.

Thanks Cinnamon for your wonderful idea. I managed to find this afternoon a lovely oval shaped mirror on a stem with matching brush and hair accessories at a fantastic price at a nearby shopping village.

Now I just need the right words to write along with it.

What can I write ?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much to the rest of you for your ideas, which I saw after returning from my shopping trip. It is greatly appreciated.
