Echoing the above that they are very nice, and great to use. Garden scissors/snips might be better if only dealing with very small pruning. Sometimes big secateurs are hard to get in and around fiddly houseplants. It depends what you think they’ll be mostly used for.
Can also recommend the crean mate cleaner, blade oil and possibly even the simple sharpening stone - little and often at sharpening is their suggestion. They stuff is so nice, you/she will want to keep them nice as well. Finally be warned, it is quite addictive! I got bought some niwaki secateurs for a birthday, and they weren’t alone for long.
