If you know something she's interested in, try giving her a related gift. For instance, one of my professors really loved Chess, and ran a chess club at my college. I got him a Arimaa board, which is a different game based off of chess.

I’d argue that there’s not much worse than someone buying you something to do with your hobbies.
In my experience it’s always something you don’t want, or already have

There are certainly worse things than a thoughtful, potentially redundant gift related to something you care about.

Yeah I’m sure being eaten alive by termines is worse but still, buying something for someone else’s hobby is kinda thoughtless.

How is it thoughtless? It may not be the most useful gift, but to say that it is thoughtless is ridiculous. It takes thought to remember something someone else is into and to get them something related to that.
Also, what is with you and the person I commented on doing with these weird takes? Termites are known to exclusively eat wood and other plant-based matter. A bite may cause an allergic reaction, but I doubt there has ever been a case where termites ate a person alive. Are you literally Pinocchio?

I disagree, I’d love getting stuff related to my hobbies.
