I bought the case here, I bought thread here, I bought needles here, and I traced this picture onto graph paper using my monitor as a light table.
Then I stitched it myself!
Not sure how much you're willing to spend, but here's a few ideas based on you saying that you doubt she would want a kit.
Thread
I would get a bundle so she at least has different colors to get started right away:
25 colors - $8
or
100 colors = $25
Cloth (Aida)
These are sold in different colors, and various count (holes per inch). For a beginner, I'd probably go with a 14 count in a beige or white (easy to see the holes). Just linking an example here, feel free to buy whatever.
12 x 14 inches cloth 14 count - $3
Go nuts if you want, pick a few colors, whatever fits your budget.
Needles
I use what I have on hand, something like this.
Varierty Pack - $4
Kit
So I know you said no kit, but she needs to learn somehow. Is she handy with youtube? Google search to teach herself? Maybe you should get a beginner kit too.
Kit - $6
Hoop
Simple hoop set of 4 - $8
or
Q-snap - $11
Pattern
You might want to consider getting her a pattern. You know her well? What is she into? There's some free patterns out there, or paid ones. I would get a free or buy one and print it for her so it's all ready with your gift.
Just one example, pick something that suits her, but not too many colors and too complicated to start with
Example - $3
Learning Book
No real advice to offer, but would she read a book if you bought something, or will she go on the internet to learn?
Book sample - $7
Keep in mind that I linked random things for examples, but if you're into it, use these as basis for your own research. You know her best, and what your budget is. I think this is a super sweet gift, best of luck.
Oh no I hope you get some rest soon! Sorry I should've paid better attention I've been up since 3 myself I've got wedding jitters :-p
