'Big Ticket' Drawing Gifts

I'm usually pretty keen on small holiday gifts - as a token of affection, you can't go far wrong with chocolate. (Especially 70% cocoa, organic fair trade. hint, hint....) But if you want to use the opportunity to let the artist in your life know that you support their creativity, here are some suggestions for more substantial gifts, from luxurious boxed sets to practical studio equipment.

It's a good idea to try get a hint from the potential recipient beforehand, especially where large items are concerned - you don't want half your studio space taken over by a white elephant with 'sentimental' value. Check out my 'big ticket' gift suggestions.
