Padded drafting chairs and stools can be a nice gift if the person you're shopping for spends a lot of time at the art table. For the computer-riveted recipient, however, you may want to look for something a bit more plush; leather executive office chairs are a comfy fit, and a nice step up from the standard computer chair. And let's not forget the tables themselves; drafting tables/art desks come in a variety of sizes and styles, from the foldaway style to the traditionally tilted easel style. You can even buy them in entire sets that include lighting and chairs.
From Gouache to Gadgets: Shopping For the Animator on Your Holiday Gift List
By Adrien-Luc Sanders, About.com Guide
That's right, we animators need our own furniture. Drafting tables, stools--you name it, we want it. And none of those hard, painful wooden stools, either. If I'm going to spend hours bowed over a light table or squinting at a computer screen, I want something comfortable underneath my bottom so I don't end up with the animator's equivalent of saddlesores.
