Many GOBankingRates holiday gift recommendations mention art supplies for the artist in your life, but what about a station to sit at when drawing or illustrating? The Seafuloy adjustable drafting table is a fully multi-functional drafting table where creators can draw and sketch or draft and write. Each table comes with additional drawers for storage and a steel frame chair.

“Although I work with digital drawings most of the time, I still have a need to review and update paper maps and drawings, so this product was a sweet find for me,” wrote Jimmy in a five-star review. “At first glance, I thought the drafting table wouldn’t be that sturdy, but I was wrong. Plenty of storage space (two storage baskets, pen/pencil holder, cup holder, three cubby holes for smaller items).”

• Price: $35.99

Got a griller on your wish list, but don’t want to give them the typical skewers or pizza oven presents? Try the Outset Pink Himalayan salt plank. This block can be used for cutting, cooking and serving and provides natural and lightly seasoned flavors as you grill meats and vegetables.

“This is a very cool way to cook, grill and even serve hot or cold food on. We had never even heard of this before now and we are impressed with its many uses,” wrote Sarah05 in a five-star review. “It’s not hard at all to use or to clean. It cooks evenly and quickly. It adds flavor that gets better over time similar to a cast iron. It’s a great conversation starter and a way to wow your guests as well. With proper use, cleaning and storing it’ll last a good while.”

• Price: $39.88

We were sold on the Gorilla Ladders aluminum slim-fold work platform after reading a Home Depot blog post about it.

The special buy price is also a big win. Home Depot shoppers save 47% on this bestseller while supplies last.
