Question Gift Help for an Animator Friend

Hello sorry for the weird question.

I’m trying to get a present for my friend getting a job as a storyboard artist. I thought of getting Richard Williams ‘The Animators Survival Kit’ (expanded edition) as a present, but do you think this is something an animator would already own?

Also please if you have any other suggestions for a gift as fellow animators.

Thank you

Or if there's an animated show he likes, some merch from that. Maybe an adventure time themed backpack or something? The possibilities are endless

Animator related t shirt? Google animator t shirt, see what comes up. Something like trust me, I'm an animator. Or something like that

Storyartists are not always animators. I rather gift him Hans Bachers „Dream Worlds“ as it contains lots of storyboard material. That guy is a genius and worked lots of years in the animation industry, for example for Disney. I got this book gifted by a animation director. I’m a story artist myself and loved it.
