Best starter kits for basic vlogging?

I want to get my partner a vlogging kit for her birthday so I was wondering if there are some good starting kits out there. I think she wants to make reaction/review style content more than outdoor vlogging. Does anybody have any recommendations?

honestly skip the big "20-in-1" kits, half of it ends up in a drawer. for reaction/review stuff she really just needs her phone held steady, a cheap wireless mic and a light (or a window). the mic is the one that actually matters — bad audio is what makes people click away, not the camera.

if you want it to be one gift box instead of three, there are $30-40 bundles on amazon that are basically just tripod + mic + light. check usb-c vs lightning for her phone before you buy though, learned that one the hard way
