If you don't mind the price, Caran D'Ache Grafwood are great.
For a more reasonable price Mitsubishi Hi-Uni are probably my favorite pencils, other than perhaps the old Tombow Mono 100's that were made in Japan (they moved to Vietnam and the quality when down somewhat) which you may not like, not sure which Tombows you tried.
I love mechanical pencils and have way too many, but for certain types of more serious, large scale, artistic sketching, I often prefer wood pencils for some reason. They are light and simple...my favorite set is Uni Hi-Uni Wooden Pencil set. 22 pencils ranging from 10h to 10b!

I used to prefer Conte, until they changed design from polygon to round...but they’re still good:

Just because they’re good for sketching, it doesn’t slow down my mechanical pencil collection.
Nice thing about the set of wood pencils is that they’re ready to go. Even if you could get as broad of a range of hardnesses in mechanical leads (and you can’t) you still won’t, in reality, change your lead out as often as you should be using a different hardness. And setting up different pencils with different hardnesses can be exhausting. It’s so easy to grab a tin of pencils and go draw! You can grab an 8h for this then switch to a 6h for that...super fast and comfortable to draw with. Get multiple soft leads as they go faster...your high H leads will last a long time.
If she likes to draw, try this
I got these last year, and they're my favorite set by far. They look and feel amazing to use, I recommend them all the time.
Here's another link, Amazon is running low
I can't find any online, but you may also want to get her a drawing bridge. It's a piece of raised plastic. It's to keep your hand off the paper, so you don't smear the drawing.
