These fabulous books, illustrated by Sarah Yoon in a sort of dream-like, cartoon way, fold out, concertina-style, into 4.5m (15ft) of colouring-in heaven. Or more appropriately, they will take you all the way to the moon (return journey optional).

Birdtopia might look more traditional, but illustrator Daisy Fletcher plays with scale to create miniature birds or giant flowers. Floribunda, meanwhile, features intricate illustrations on high-quality paper (suitable for paint as well as pens or pencils) that can be removed and hung up or framed.

You can never have too many colourful pens. This set from Stabilo is fine enough for writing, if you just need some colour in your office life, but also good for the finer details of complicated designs.
