Can anyone recommend a crafting tray?

Hi,

My wife is a keen crafter and I'm trying to find her a tray she can keep her current project on and carry it about from room to room as the light changes through the house.

I appreciate that any old dinner tray would do for this, realistically, but it's kind of frustrating that there are lots of useful-looking lap desks and craft trays you can get but none of them seem to have all the things she'd need.

The big sticking point is that it has to be something with a rim so that all the little bits and pieces won't spill everywhere when it's carried around, and very few of the "specialist" trays seem to have a rim, for some reason. There are lots of other things that might be helpful, like a textured finish, a light and a slot for phones but I'll just take as many of those as I can get.

Can anyone recommend something good I might be able to get somewhere?

what about a potting tray? they're quite large but lightweight, and they have a rim.

@mattDP I know this doesn't tick all your boxes, but we have a few of these in the house used by kids for crafting/Lego etc.

They are large with a decent lip around the edge to stop things rolling off. Also because they a not patterned, it's easy to see things on it. Wipe clean and very solid, not bendy or easily warped.

And much cheapness!
