LOLZ! We here at CDf love to joke around, and especially at this time of year when we are fully understanding that designers and design students are completely broke and we go and throw an expensive $2,499 bone at you as a gift idea.

Well my friends and loyal readers, this bone is a hearty meal for any pup, as the Wacom Cintiq is the tablet of choice for all (respectable) designers.

Imagine drawing directly on the surface, just like God intended! What a novel idea! Come join us as we thoroughly enjoy this 1-to-1 sketch feedback! The Cintiq 21UX is the granddaddy of all tablets, weighing in at 21.3 inches across, sporting luscious color, and even a swivel base, this drawing tablet is the stuff of dreams!

Can’t see yourself dropping the 2.5 grand on this baby? Opt for some of the less-expensive screenless models Wacom has to offer. But then again, no self-respecting designer would do that, would they?
