On my recent conquest to spend too much money I was shopping at http://www.dickblick.com/clearance/
While looking at the clearance items I found and ordered these;
Houtz & Barwick Extendable Palette Tables $12.97 was 54.08
Tables are crafted in super lightweight aluminum that provides a steady platform to suit a wide variety of needs. Use these adjustable tables as palettes, art display stands, or as a collapsible table wherever you need one.
Each has a convenient accessory pocket underneath. They adjust 6" to accommodate your working height. Black canvas, aluminum legs.
Made in the USA.

Blick Portable Studio
The portable studio is made of durable, lightweight, black nylon that wipes clean easily, inside and out. Take it anywhere with the hands-free, backpack style shoulder straps and a padded carrying handle with a zip-around closure.
The portable studio kit includes:
A hinged, waterproof easel that opens to an A-frame and holds paper up to 15"H × 22"W (38 cm × 56 cm) in place.
A 28-well folding paint palette box
2 collapsible buckets with brush pockets
A comfy 10"H × 10"W × 1"D (25 cm × 25 cm × 3 cm) seat cushion
Handy, zippered outer pockets hold all of your gear, including: cellular phones, MP3 players, water or spray bottles, sketch pads up to 18"H × 24"W (46 cm × 61 cm), pencils, charcoal and pastels, paint tubes/pan sets, brushes, sponges, or erasers.
Was 49.99, I paid $9.99.
I got 2 of the traveling studios. One for me and one for my GD. I'm going to add a pkg of tube watercolors, a tablet of WC student paper and some brushes. She will be exstatic. I'll have less than $40., but it will be worth much more to her.
Here is one of the studios and the folding canvas table.

What a clever gift idea Sidney! I can think of a few artists that would love something like this.
