Some thoughts after looking at my workbench.
Try to convince the lady in your life that certain things dropped on the kitchen or bathroom floor don't have to be thrown out. I'm thinking about rolls of aluminimum foil and wax paper or Q-tips. Modelling materials don't need to be sanitary.
I use wax paper under models that need to be glued together, especially buildings. I found that foil sticks to some glues. But I can use it as a palette for paints or to put the drop of glue on before picking it up on a pin point. Wax paper also can be put under bits of scenery if you decorate it on the workbench.
Q-tips are used for cleaning track and wheel treads.
My other major workbench is an old door that the previous owner of the house put on folding legs. I added IKEA measuring tapes down the long sides -- one side inches and the other metric.
