1. Vintage Camera: Consider finding a unique and rare vintage camera to add to her collection. Look for iconic models such as the Kodak Brownie or Polaroid Land Camera, or explore options from different decades to give her collection more depth and diversity.

2. Camera Strap or Bag: Enhance her photography experience by gifting a stylish camera strap or a vintage-inspired camera bag. Opt for one that matches her personal style and offers practicality to keep her equipment safe during outdoor shoots.

3. Photography Books: Expand her knowledge and inspire her creativity with photography books. Look for books that showcase the history and art of photography, or books that highlight the works of acclaimed photographers who have used antique cameras in their craft.

4. Film Rolls and Accessories: If she enjoys shooting with film, surprise her with a collection of different film rolls, including black and white, color, or even specialty films. You can also consider including film processing vouchers or a film development kit, allowing her to experience the nostalgic process of developing her own photographs.

7. Camera Museum or Gallery Visit: Arrange a visit to a museum or gallery dedicated to photography or vintage cameras. This experience will give her the opportunity to explore and appreciate the history of her beloved hobby, as well as discover new cameras or techniques she may not be familiar with.

8. Subscription to a Photography Magazine: Sign her up for a subscription to a respected photography magazine that specializes in vintage cameras or film photography. This will provide her with regular inspiration, tips, and insights from professionals in the field.
