• Wooden desk organiser

  Before you buy: Check the dimensions against their desk and whether it has a phone or card slot they would use. Versions with a printed or engraved name take longer to make and deliver.

• Acrylic paint set with canvas

  Before you buy: Check the number of colours, the tube size and whether canvases and brushes are included. Acrylics dry fast and are hard to wash out of clothes; an apron is a handy extra.
