Awesome idea!
Or, you could buy her:

Here’s links for uk amazon, will give you an idea of what to search if you’re based elsewhere.
Link for the telescopic poles: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000LFVE68?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Link for the clamp mount: CamKix Clamp Mount compatible... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NIBQXGS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
The clamp mounts aren’t the best tbh, but they work. They were only £10 so may be worth spending a bit more for some better ones.
I used these poles and these clamps. They are perfect and I haven't had any problems with them at all :)
here's a link of the contractor pole http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000LFVE68?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
As it's just a pole it can go behind my desk with no problem, I extend it from the floor to the ceiling and I set up an adapter on it http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00E5M39AW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Its made up of two parts, the pole:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000LFVE68/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and the thing that holds the tripod to the pole:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ZIOHZP6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I would advise you use clamps instead and dont buy the pole i linked, that brand is way too cheaply made.
The 3m tape is bad as the lighthouses vibrate, vibration causes 3m tape to lose its seal and your lighthouses will fall off, some peoples light houses fell off immediately, some stayed up for a few months, either way its a ticking time bomb.
had a look around, https://www.amazon.com/Silverline-Easy-Prop-1-15-2-9m/dp/B000LFVE68/ref=sr_1_3?srs=6050981011&ie=UTF8&qid=1483655647&sr=8-3&keywords=prop best i seem to get.
I highly recommend these, with these.
The poles extend from floor to ceiling, so you can get the lighthouses high up. And they have a very small footprint compared to tripods, etc. I'm very very happy with them
I'm getting two of these plus two grips to hold the lighthouses...
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000LFVE68/ref=pd_aw_sbs_60_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=313Q1KZqDNL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL130_SR130%2C130_&refRID=SH3CT0RZNP5CB4Z4WXDH
I live in rented so am not allowed to drill.
And if you don't want to drill holes in your walls, buy some of these . I have my lighthouses attached to these and they're perfect. I didn't want to drill the walls as we're in rented accommodation and I also don't trust my DIY skills.
uk here. I bought the woolcraft one but unfortunately they recently increased the price. so get the silveline one. do it quick cause they only have two in stock (and you need two) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-465983-Easy-Prop-1-15-2-9/dp/B000LFVE68/ref=pd_sim_60_10?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=3AM3K57DCRJMPVY3Z0H2
and a pair of these also https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01A6KJDFG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Edit: yes I know they are gonna cost a little extra, and you can do without them if you choose to hammer the basestations to your wall. but I didn't mind 'cause 1) the benefit outweighed the cost 2) I'm not worried about spending a little extra 3) my landlord wouldn't allow me to screw crap into the wall :-P
Happy Viving!
From UK Amazon but equivalent should be available in US:
To create mounting platform: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000LFVE68/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
To mount lighthouses to above: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01A6KJDFG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The extending poles can be put up or taken down in seconds, also be sure to look at some power cable extenders for the lighthouses if you plan to have them away from plug sockets: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DVZYBBU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
These poles and these mounts has worked great for me.
Takes minimal space as well, but they only work up to 2.9m.
I've got these for my UK setup.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-465983-Easy-Prop-1-15-2-9/dp/B000LFVE68/
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wolfcraft-4042000-80mm-Telescopic-Support/dp/B001BWT2PA/
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01A6KJDFG/
They work great and are easy to put up and take down, so if you want to take it over to a friends house, you don't need to spend ages disassembling things.
Here you go. but I got mine from a local scaffolding company. They’re crimped at the ends, but 3 minutes with a file takes care of that.
This is standard practice. Broncos are better than step ladders, though.

Try these.
https://www.amazon.com/GripIt-Kilograms-Cabinets-Plasterboard-Removable/dp/B00SJHG2U8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541282717&sr=8-3&keywords=Gripit
Certainly, if you go get these:
https://www.amazon.com/GypTool-Pro-15-Drywall-Stilts/dp/B01GP04QJO/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=stilts&qid=1556605631&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1
Assuming you are operating the camera handheld and are looking for low budget options...
If you want an extra few inches you could get monster shoes: https://www.halloweencostumes.com/mens-monster-shoes.html
If you want more, there are drywall stilts (https://www.amazon.com/GypTool-Pro-15-Drywall-Stilts/dp/B01GP04QJO) that look like they start out at 15".
Both of those options would require a little getting used to but would get you the height if you need it.
