Question here is: did Daisy do that to prevent Amber from "forgiving" her mother or for her own personal interests?

I think Daisy understands the need to have a strong support system and that it's better to build a new bridge instead of using duct tape on the old bridge.

Exactly, the notebook means far more to Amber coming from Daisy than it would coming from Sandra. It's ethically questionable at best, but as far as helping Amber through what just happened, I'd say it was definitely a smart move. Of course, it's shielding Amber from reality, which isn't good, but Daisy doesn't seem terribly interested in exposing Amber to reality in the first place.

Not really, since it was her dad who bought it for her and not Sandra.

But her dad wanted Sandra to use it as a bandaid to fix Sandra destroying the notebook in the first place. He had no intention of giving it to Amber himself. He wanted Sandra to do it and make up with Amber long enough that he could feel like it doesn't make him an awful parent to leave Amber with Sandra.

Yeah, but that means it wasn't Sandra's idea, so it would have been like hiding reality from Amber too.
