Sorry but you got ripped off. Those are not rare or expensive, everyone in the Navy owns probably 5-10 of those, we use them on our mesh laundry bags to keep them closed while they go through the ships laundry service.

I love weird specific tools, but you might need to gauge whether your wife already has them or whether she even needs it (I'm more of a casual dressmaker - no self drafting or designing here) but here ya go!

These are mostly the small tool kind of things. If you're looking for a more big ticket gift it would probably be the mat + rotary cutter (biggest mat you can get!) or an overlocker aka serger

I haven't personally used these, but I've heard of them, and they seemed to get a good score.
I have pretty ones I've picked up but these ones are the ones I most use. I like having different colors so I can mark as many things as I need to. There are also enough that it takes me awhile to lose them and the case is pretty convenient.
yes :) get one of those giant saftey pins
I've been watching some on Amazon deciding if I want one. They run about $7-10 a piece to buy one in various and sundry iterations (ovarian cancer and sexual assault survivors are also colored teal, so their items often overlap) or $1-1.50 to buy a pack of 40-50. It's good someone is taking advantage of the opportunity to raise TS awareness!
If anything doesn’t come or you decide you don’t like it, the only addition I can think of would be a magnetic pin holder. I like it better than a pin cushion because you can just drop the pin, rather than needing to aim into the cushion itself. Grabbit Magnetic Sewing Pincushion is the one I’ve had for years—or very similar;Mines from Joanns. I’ve recently upgraded to the Zirkel Pin Cushion which auto rotates the pins so the rounded side points OUT which is super handy and it’s stronger than my old one, so my awful aim still results in pins on the pad.
The cast members who will trade to you will (should) have a special tag at the end of their lanyard that says something to the effect of "Hey, I'll trade pins with you!"
Maybe someone has a picture of what I'm talking about?
Re: putting your pins on a backpack, I really like this idea! :D You can purchase lockable backs for your pins at any of the shops at WDW. I'm also relatively certain you can find them cheaper online.
Something like this although I can't guarantee -these- will work with Disney pins, the ones in the Disney shops definitely will.
If you use these locking backs, then you don't have to worry about them falling off of your backpack!
I usually use these: https://www.amazon.com/Biubee-Calabash-Knitting-Markers-Clothing/dp/B07K14BYX5/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=bulb+safety+pins&qid=1572106568&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExTVlHTk5IVVFZMEtCJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzAxNDQzNDQ3TjVTVUtROTAyJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA2ODA5MjIxUDFORlc5SDJHVlVaJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfc2VhcmNoX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
Yeah, you gotta get the locking pin backs.

these were the only non-makeup item in my cart earlier
I used this kind of pin. I dipped the ball end in rubbing alcohol and used it to make drops of the paper to create the circles/bubbles.

Look up how to fold a cloth diaper and you can get pretty thick pretty easily. I have used bath towels and throw-sized fleece blankets to fold very thick diaper covers. You'll need some large safety pins, usually sold to pin back draperies or skirts, and maybe some plastic pants if thats your thing.
example of pins
My suggestion would be to make a couple of locking diaper pins and use them to secure a onesie and/or a thin cloth diaper over your diaper.

And this kind of plumbing part (not sure what size, will try to edit later): https://www.amazon.com/LASCO-17-6069-Compression-Sleeves-2-Piece/dp/B008E33Y1C/ref=sr_1_5?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1542430365&sr=1-5&keywords=copper+compression+fitting
The trick is to use pliers or a vice to squeeze the round compression sleeve into a narrow rectangle that slips tightly over the head of the pin. I wrecked a few compression rings figuring out my method. Thankfully I bought them at normal prices at the hardware store, not from the rip-off price from the Amazon link!

My knitters. I bought these metal bulb pins a while back. Never again will a not place a stitch marker. Stitch markers for everything. 1000 for less thank $7. Sure they're not huge and they're black, but I have light colored needles, so they show up just fine.
You shouldn't use sewing pins, because a lot of them are not rust proof, and they're pretty bendy. Something like this - stainless steel is best.
Some safety pins are actually quite large if you're worried about making sure people can see them.
I would say they are worth it, lost my Taylor Swift pin with a normal back. You can also get some with a screw.
These might help: https://www.amazon.com/Lapel-Pin-Locking-Backs-Keepers/dp/B007IU94Z2
I've used them to secure my Nephew's Disney Pins while at Disneyland
You can get them at the parks, or if you want to get some beforehand they have them on Amazon. Here are some: http://www.amazon.com/Lapel-Pin-Locking-Backs-Keepers/dp/B007IU94Z2
They also sell the official Disney ones on Amazon, although they are more expensive.
They look like this

A lot of the supplies for sewing are specific to the type of sewing and personal preference, so it is tricky to give suggestions. Items anyone can use, IMO, and some themed to Valentine's Day, are Clover flower pins, Wonder clips, a pretty pin cushion, seam gauge, and an acrylic ruler in my favorite size.
I love the "calabash" aka "gourd" style of safety pin for this! They're small and have a rounded end that won't catch on anything.
YES!!!!
My childhood!
I got this set of stitch markers off Amazon. They are great for the price!

Interesting. I suppose the magnet is too weak to draw your wrist into dangerous machinery. I prefer a wrist pincushion and own one with a top like this. I do have a magnetic dish for pins and a magnet on a stick for picking up pins.
here ya go.

I honestly think you're shilling these all wrong because you're missing the whole point. You keep downplaying that they are magnetic but thats the main selling point of the product.
There are plenty of options for locking pin backs out there (those are three different links), and these screw-on types are actually reviled by many for warping the studs on the back of pins, or leaving dents on it.
Again, the ability to turn pins into magnets is absolutely brilliant. Locking pin backs is not new territory.
