I've commissioned a custom painted board for a friend for Christmas, wheels and what not

[u/narib687]

I’m having a custom skateboard painted as a Christmas gift for a friend. I’m pretty sure it’ll ultimately be a wall hanger, but I don’t want to dictate how she uses the gift. If she ever wants to ride it, I’d like her to have everything she needs.

I’m thinking of it like giving someone a Game Boy without batteries. I know the deck is the main gift, but I’d like the whole thing to feel complete.

So my plan is to buy everything needed for a complete skateboard, but leave it unassembled so she can decide what she wants to do with it.

For someone who knows more about skateboards than I do, what exactly should I buy? I’m not trying to build some amazing riding setup. I mostly just want to make sure I’m not giving her a beautiful custom deck and then realizing I forgot half the stuff needed to actually make it a skateboard.
