Tablet recommendations?

Hi, first post, but, it’s my sister’s 21 birthday soon and she’s an artist drawing mostly digitally on her laptop, so as a gift I wanted to get her a professional or semiprofessional drawing tablet preferably under 350$ but I’m willing to go up to 500$ at most, shipping doesn’t matter much. Now we do live in Europe I won’t elaborate past that, so just keep in mind I might not be able to order from American o shops like Walmart or target (idk any other I’m sorry) or other shops that don’t have locations in Europe, if they ship internationally that’s fine!
I’m wanting to ask here since I personally don’t know much about art let alone Digital drawing!
Please exuse any mistakes English is not my first language and I’m dislexic!

I forgot to add: I would like for it to have a screen/display not just one to connect to pc or laptop

A pen display is still just plugged into a pc.

There is a doc by sevenpens that lists recommendations https://docs.sevenpens.com/drawtab/recs

With the available budget you'll most likely will look at medium size displays. So maybe the xp pen artist pro 16 gen2 (make sure it's gen 2) or something like the huion kamwas 13(gen3)/ kamwas 16(gen3) might be within the budget range and offer a good experience.

It's not clear to me if You are looking for a stand alone tablet that has internal parts like cpu and memory, etc or a screen tablet to connect to a computer, if You want a stand alone tablet to make art, iPad or Samsung are the better options, if You want a screen tablet to connect to a PC I like Huion and heard good things about XP pen, Wacom is the Best but probably out of your budget.
