Now that we are finally in Christmas season! (YAYYY) I have a few ideas for gifts for the designer friend that would make their year.
A PLANNER. Bonus points if it has a really cool cover. This is something that they will reach for every day to fill with all the projects they need to complete and will think of you every time they use it 🙂
An Ambient CANDLE. I know for myself that doing work in the light and aroma of a candle around keeps me focused and creative. I know your designer friend would love to keep that candle at their workplace.
A design BOOK. A specific book I have on my roster is “The History of Graphic Design. 40th Ed.” by Jens Muller. It is a whole book comprised of 130 years of graphic design material and inspiration. Plus, it will look great on a coffee table.
Speaking of coffee. A coffee CUP or THERMOS. I know that in the wintery months ahead, a thermos would keep your friend cozy and warm.
