Suggestions to add to portfolio diversification

Im trying to build a relatively safe portfolio for my girlfriend with focus on growth. Her investment strategy is to simply split everything she invests into whatever percentages get attached to this portfolio diversification regardless of price and let it ride. She wants investing to be as low stress and hands kff as possible for her

Ive always been more of a trader with focus on timing the markets, and using charts/data to make decisions and i noticed that a lot of my picks are kind of heavy in the tech sector.

Id like to get her a little more exposure in real estate, commodities, retail, industrial/logistics and maybe some retail outside of amazon. Im also open to any other feedback/suggestions/alterations you might suggest. If there's a ticker you think every portfolio should have that im missing id love to hear about it.
