This review is pretty helpful.

If I may suggest for myself...
Roku: 49.00
Twin Peaks - Fire Walk with Me: 13.86
Find Momo: 11.67
disc golf disc: 17.99
rapid ramen cooker: 6.99 add-on item
TOTAL: 99.51
Haha, my first list came to 100.01 (doh!) - swapped disc golf disc and ramen cooker for The Casual Vacancy and LEGO earrings. :)
might as well leave this here
I think my most desired would be a tie between this disc and this hat to wear while playing disc golf.
bestdiscgolfdiscs.com suggests a Valkyrie, Roc, and Aviar for 3 discs. They do use Amazon Pay but you can't use a gift card for that, which is why I assume you specify Amazon.
The problem with buying a set is they're just going to give you what ever they have but it will be cheaper than buying individually.
This Innova Set is decent, The TeeBird is my favorite Innova fairway drive and one of the best all around discs and it has a recommended Roc. I can't say anything about the Rhino but I think when you're starting out putters don't matter much. A similar Innoa Set This one is Leopard, Roc, and Aviar. So maybe this is a little safer as most players will agree that Roc and Aviar are solid discs. Then maybe throw in a GStar Valkyrie and you're just over $40 but you've got some solid discs.
This set of 4 Discraft goes right up to your budget but there's no listing of discs so it's a gamble. In the photo you see a Nuke which is a horrible disc for beginners.
This DGA set Is notable because they're all 150 class discs. Lighter discs can be good for absolute beginners but if you did play a little and can throw then light discs might be more of a burden. It all depends on your arm speed, I'd probably suggest this more for women and children. The Squall is a great beginner mid and the Reef is a solid putter. In normal plastic I'd say the Rogue is not good for beginners but being so light it might work.
I'll just leave this here...
Aerobie Epic Golf Disc, Colors May Vary https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EYIQZW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lTBJAbA51N268
If you have a ton of power especially if you grew up pitching or playing baseball an Aerobi Epic 100% is the best tomahawk disc you can throw. I would put any amount of money that it will go further than any other disc you can tomahawk. I can easily get 400 feet from a tomahawk out of it. The way it works is it will throw like a normal tomahawk disc but then if you can throw it hard enough and high enough it will do a barrel roll mid air and then glide for everrrrrr on its way down and its straight as an arrow. The only problem is good luck finding one, up until recently you could get them on Amazon or wherever I recently looked to pick up 2-3 more and I found a used one on Ebay for $5. Other sellers are asking $100? (lol) Keep an eye on this link hopefully they get more in stock as they sell it for 12-14 bucks.

Edit: I did find them on this website but I'm not sure it looks a little sketch like a website right out of the early 2000s. https://playground.epicsports.com/prod/74175/aerobie-epic-golf-disc.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwkoDmBRCcARIsAG3xzl_RIOvhR0m40yiHdFDHROVMTyxQ8p6_EDRR8HRFJA8IwGX8OvkIVVwaAuseEALw_wcB
(Also when they are new they are very very hard to get them to flip over horizontally and will often flip and come down at an angle killing some distance. Either change the angle you release at to compensate and get it to flip correctly or just throw it a bunch let it fall from the sky and break in.)
I bought mine on Amazon, so it was completely random.

maybe reach out to the seller to inquire about that specific combo?
My gf started playing with me and we have a great time playing together. A surprise is great but as far as learning goes, it's hard to beat playing with and getting tips from more experienced players so don't leave it too long. As far as videos etc. youtube is a mix of the good, the bad and the ugly... Check out the beginner portal at my local clubs website as these are well chosen videos and good advice:
beginner-portal
As far as discs try as many as you can to see what works for you. My gf had some improvements with a Teebird but recently shifted to one of these as her go to disc Axiom-Inspire which worked well, improved her distances and accuracy, helped set new pb's and apparently most important of all "it's pretty!"
https://www.amazon.com/Eurodisc-Disc-Golf-Driver-Plastic/dp/B009ERX6C4. Should buy a few of these if you want to do things like that
G* Teebirds are rare?
Yes indeed. A Firebird is 9|3|0|4 and the FD3 is 9|4|0|3. The Simon Lizotte Doom Bird II stamp is also really awesome...

Definitely looks to me like a disc golf frisbee with the logo washed off.

Are you sure you didn't just see a really nice dye job or maybe they sponsored an event and the TD had some printed up for the event?
Not that I would know or anything, but I haven't seen anything about a new mold from Innova that had anything to do with Raw rolling papers.
EDIT: These? https://www.amazon.com/RAW-Natural-Unrefined-Rolling-Papers/dp/B01DV9DECM

If your going to be ordering discs from Amazon they sell Dynamic which I really like. The Truth is a great flying mid range I enjoy slightly more than the Buzz.

Edit: This Prodigy D5 is a good understandable that I wish I'd had when I began. Just some more options, I know you said discraft but thought I'd put them out they're because they aren't over priced.

Thank you!
Yea you can select which range of weight you want
And yes I am buying via gift card
I have a floating disc that I pull out for baskets near water.

Change Jar.
This disc is of the highest speed rating discs available (some as fast, but none faster), meaning it goes far if thrown well. When I get a good drive off the tee, the throw is often said to be bombed and I often yell BOOM when I get off a good drive. I don't have any discs this fast.
Discraft Avenger SS Pro
If you're throwing it too fast rhbh, it will curve to the right without fading back left. If you're throwing it too slow, it will just fade to the left.
Personally, my best disc is a Discraft Cyclone in X plastic which is a speed 7.

I was where you are last year. I was using speed 10 and 11 discs and they were just fading hard left at about 150'. My buddy bought me that Cyclone and a Buzzz in the late summer, and we worked on my form a bit (Nose down, relaxed-bouncy wrists, pulling the disc close to your body). Now I'm up to an Avenger SS and a Beast that I can throw well over 300 which are speed 10s. Those higher speed discs are just really unforgiving of poor form.
