Gift for 18th birthday of sister with whom I have a difficult relationship.

Firstly, we have a difficult relationship, I am 7 years older and we live apart and sometimes we fight a lot, but she's turning 18 and I want to make it really special for her. You only turn 18 once.

She is what you'd call a loner, is very opinionated (I love that!), likes to dance when she gets nervous. She likes animals, and is rather sociable when needed despite not having too many friends. She has always been fond of travelling (but with Covid that is not a viable or safe option right now.) She has tried getting into skincare but has always given up so I don't think that's a good idea. She likes horror themed anything, likes editing videos in her free time, taking pictures of herself, she wears a lot of black, doesn't like minimalistic or junk jewellery. The biggest issue is she's not very sentimental about things and her interests and hobbies keep changing, and I'm really scrambling for ideas here. A thing is preferred more than an experience right now, because I want it to physically last. Non-clothes and non-edible things are also preferred.

She is also going off to college next year. I don't want to give her money in an envelope or a gift card, I know that might be more practical but I want to make it memorable, if that makes sense? I can draw, write, willing to put together a big gift made of small gifts, have the time and will for all of it. I'm looking at something rather timeless, something that she can use and years later, even if we're not in touch, it would remind her of her family.

I know this is too rigid, and I apologise for it. Thanks to anyone who helps in any way!
