This gift will provide them with guidance, feedback, and a chance to learn new techniques from the comfort of their own home.

4. Biography/Art Book on Favorite Cartoonist: If your friend has a favorite cartoonist or comic strip creator, consider gifting them a biography or art book about that individual.
