They have a nice zen version called a Buddha Board. It comes in different sizes.
A Buddha Board, its one of the coolest things I've seen that somewhat relates to meditation. I'm sure your friend would love it! Buddha Board Amazon
If you have any plants, moonwater is great for tending them. You can also use it in teas, baths, cleansing sprays, and as a base for any kind of magical liquid mixture.
I also like to use it for making temporary drawings/inscriptions - marking out a circle on the floor, or writing on a buddha board.
I think a "buddha board" might be what you're looking for. There's also a cheaper mini one
A Buddha Board for sure. Artsy and spiritual - you paint on it with water and it fades away in time.
Its a white board that turns black when you paint water onto its surface. As the water evaporates, the painting fades. Very calm, much zen. http://www.amazon.com/Original-Buddha-Board-Master-letting/dp/B0010TEFFQ

I got it as a gift. But, it's nice. It's kind of kitcshy, but it's calming/relaxing to draw/write on it. Just requires water. It comes with the brush.
HandHook I think you'll love this
/u/argirl09 (my latest newbie) has a water writing board thing on her list. I've played with one and can say that if five minutes of readability is too much but you also don't want the ability to erase your work at will, this is for you. Do you have cats? They'll enjoy drinking from and pushing over the water glass you leave out to use with the board.
Small container of lube.
He sounds like a good recipient for a Buddha Board.
I'd also think of a pile of great books that delve into the therapy/specialty he's interested in, knowledge goes with any lifestyle. Or maybe a book on how to build furniture yourself that's easy to make and light on the environment.
> Preferably something basic, that improves quality of life and will last a lifetime.
Victorinox Swiss army knife with lots of necessary features. For $50 I don't know too many things that will last a lifetime, maybe someone else here knows better.
I'm so sorry for your loss. <3 I'd love to use this to build my drawing skills as well as managing my anxiety. Thank you for this contest.
The Buddha Board is my new go-to gift. It's cool and suits a wide variety of personalities (mother that needs a Zen moment, CEO that needs a Zen moment, cube worker that needs a cool cube toy, that artsy-fartsy guy that did that thing for me once, the weird chick that no one knows anything about but I drew her name in a Secret Santa).

You need this [Buddha Board] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0010TEFFQ/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_ryIQwb3AYPNY7)
It is a super cool canvas that you paint with water and then it disappears in minutes. Zen painting. :)
I'm probably too late, but some ideas!
The mug is a cute idea, I love these "Surprise Mugs"
We don't know which country you or she is from, but it might be nice to get hers something small from her country (or something from your country that's super distinct if she's very excited about living there).
For instance, if she is from Germany, you could get her some Hanuta -- I know when I moved away from home, it was very comforting to get reminders from there.
Or if she's from Belgium, Stroopwafels might be nice to go with tea! Just something small that represents her home.
As for relaxation items (which seems to me to be one of your best options seeing as your ultimate goal is to help her relax, right?), I have a few:
Gong for her desk at work?
A zen "Desktop Garden?"
A Buddha Board for work?
A little desktop fountain?
A diffuser for at home (SUPER relaxing, but you'd also need essential oils)?
Or even a necklace diffuser?
As soon as I found out about the Buddha Board I knew I wanted one.
It is a special board that allows you to paint with water. When the water dries, the image vanishes. It is supposed to be a zen thing to show you to paint just for the sake of painting, since the image will disappear. It is also supposed to be a symbol that everything is temporary.
I also use coloring and collect as many coloring books as I can.
This is this first time I have ever tried to enter hyperlinks in a comment and I hope it works. I could have just screwed these hyperlinks up royally, lol.
Some neat ideas for artsy people are a Buddha board and an expert coloring book.
"Natural Talent" is a lie. It doesn't exist. Anyone anywhere who is any good at anything, is so because they worked hard and practiced for a long time.
The kid's 9 years old, anything that he tries to do, he is going to get frustrated. All you can do for now is encourage him, and help him learn to derive fun from the process of art-making, rather than worrying about the result. Getting hung up on particular techniques and styles at this early on is, I think, counter-productive. All it will do is serve to highlight the disparity with his current skill level and that of others around him, which is discouraging. Get involved with him in the process, draw with him. Are you no good at drawing? Great! Have fun drawing with him, and show him that making a perfect drawing isn't the most important thing. And maybe you can begin learning and developing as artists together.
One thing that can help make the process more exciting is new tools. Is he drawing mostly with crayons and markers? Get him some (cheap, nontoxic, water-soluble) paints or pastels. Make collages out of ripping construction paper. get him a Buddha Board, or just some sidewalk chalk. Experimenting with different mediums will help get him engaged in the process of making art, and not worry about the final product.
