I have a maker and really enjoy it... There are actually a fairly large number of materials that can be cut (paper, fabric, iron on and vinyl materials, other materials like wood veneers, stamp materials, etc...), drawn on (pens, markers, heat transfer markers, etching tool, foil tools, embossing tools, etc...) and more.
If your daughter does paper crafts, sewing/quilting, or making tee shirts or decor items it would likely be a great gift for them. The software is really easy to use and can be accessed on pc or tablet (phone I think too... but I don't use that) so it's really versatile.
