Art gift for teenage boy

I'm looking for some ideas for art supplies for a 14yo boy. In the past have got him a cartooning course, graffiti colouring in book, Scrawllbox subscription... Can anyone suggest some fun, funky art supplies that would make a good gift? Thank you!

3d printing pen? Light box? Really nice watercolour pencils?

My dd has a drawing tablet, wasn't expensive (maybe £30 ish ) which she plugs into her computer. She absolutely loves it and has created some amazing artwork on it.

I second a drawing tablet graphics pad type thing, my son of a similar age loves his. If he is into anime there are quite a few good how to books on Amazon. Or what about comic book blanks where they are free to fill in most of it themselves. Have also seen these on Amazon.

Graffiti pens?
Learn to draw cool things book/learn to draw anime etc
Light tracing box
My boy likes using sketch pencils rather than colours so a more grown up sketching set? And one of those little wooden mannequin things? I think it’s do with learning to draw to scale?

I’ve bought my DS a lovely set of water colour paints with brushes and paper.
Drawing tablet is a good shout, as is the graffiti book and pens.

As a smaller stocking stuffer type gift, my DC get a lot of use out of their acrylic paint pens. They can be used on rocks, glass and even themselves. Or fabrics marker are also good fun. Metallic outline pens and blank flip books went down well last year.

I'm intrigued by the cheaper graphic tablets

So obviously they're just a plain black board to draw on as you look at the PC screen

Is this used a lot by professionals or would they use a more expensive tablet where you see what you're drawing on the tablet itself
