3. A camera

Important tool for many designers, and even if they don't need it for work it's sweet to receive a camera for christmas.

4. Inkling by Wacom

An amazing pen. You just draw on paper in an old-fashion way, then the Inkling saves all your pen movements and sends your drawing to your computer. It's just as simple as that. Get it on Amazon.

5. Shadow Type
