When a woman lights for the first time, she should say the blessing of Shehecheyanu. If she doesn't have a custom to say Shecheyanu over the lights, then she should put on a new article of clothing and say the blessing of Shehecheyanu on that, and she should also have in mind the lighting for the first time.
Our sages have said that a person who makes an effort to beautify the mitzvah of kindling Shabbat lights will have sons who are great in Torah. It is a proper time after lighting for a woman to pray for her children, so that Hashem should give her sons who will shine in Torah!
