I think this is pretty cool, especially for a beginner.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UC0QETY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These are $10 for the set right now and they don't totally alleviate wrist pain but they do help! For me the biggest difference has been working to keep my wrist straight and have good posture for non-crochet things like typing; then I can crochet without pain.
Sure, you could say something like, "Man my hand cramps from writing ( Or doodling) too much, does your hand hurt from holding that little hook when you crochet?"
Then maybe she'll mention it. And you can ask her are the hooks like the size of pens, etc.
Or you could ask to see her latest project and go, "Wow! How do you make all those stitches ? !" And maybe she'll get her hook out and show you. And you can look to see if it's a plain narrow handle like a pen or a sculpted molded handle to make it wider.
If she doesn't get the hook out you'll have to ask her specifically to show you with her hook how it's done. Hope this helps. Good luck!
Also there are cute personalized gifts like t-shirts and such with the crochet theme on Etsy.
