One of my godchildren burned/carved a spoon in school - now they want to start woodcarving as a hobby. Does anyone have a recommendation on good-quality tools that I could gift to my godchild? I've googled but tbh I don't really know how to assess usefulness/quality.

Edit: I am so pleasantly surprised and so grateful for all the helpful and kind answers that I have received! You are all great and lovely people and you've made my day!!

@loathlylady I don't know your location, but if you are in north america, Lee Valley has some nice carving kits. depending on kind of carving they want to start out with, different tools would be needed. chip carving requires different carving knives compared to say spoon carving.

Carving isn't exactly my forte. so I am hoping that a boost might bring in more experienced people to opine.

@Rajiv
Thanks for the boost - I am in Europe but I very much appreciate your recommendation, this website gives me so many ideas - I'm almost tempted to start a new hobby myself now!
