If you've progressed from being a girl gamer to a girl GM, then the first thing you should look at (once you've designed your campaign, of course), is a custom DM screen. Whether you print out your favorite tables on computer paper and paperclip them to your current screen, or find someone who has a little artistic talent to make up an entirely new one, there's a lot of benefits to be had.
First off, most DM screens have some information you want--but not all of it. There's bound to be more than a few tables and charts that you use in your games more than others and it's really handy to have them right where you can see them. Plus, it saves a lot of time flipping through books.
Secondly, if you do shell out the money to have an artist do the front of it, your players will have the pleasure of seeing their characters whenever they sit down to game. It's great for atmosphere (and your players' egos).
Having a custom DM screen is a wonderful tool for gaming--not entirely necessary, but fun to have.
