My DIL is a talented artist. I'd like to give her a box of materials (she draws and paints) but, as I am as artistic as a housebrick, I have no idea what is 'good' and what is cheap rubbish. I might give it to her for Christmas or for her birthday (which is just days before Christmas and I like to give her her present at the beginning of November with a token on the actual day).
Could some artistic MNetters give me some clues as to things that I can buy to put together in a pretty box? Preferably not TOO expensive, but nicer than the things she might just buy for herself? And good for art?
