Gifts that get it
Graphic designers are often called upon to use their magical skills. NotSoppyStore gets it with these really funny coaster designs, like this job description and this “One Last Change” request. They also come in CMYK colors. Check out the shop for more ideas.
I think designers will relate to this “Eat. Sleep. Design. Repeat.” T-shirt. Especially because we might need reminders to eat and sleep.
Books with pictures
Designers are visual people, so interesting coffee table type books make great gifts. I’m fascinated by Annie Atkins’ Fake Love Letters, Forged Telegrams, and Prison Escape Maps: Designing Graphic Props for Filmmaking with lots of detail designing movie props.
The book Food & Drink Infographics. A Visual Guide to Culinary Pleasures combines tasty things, recipes and graphics to satisfy all kinds of cravings.
The designer life
I love enamel pins and this Designers Rule pin by TwoGirlsCoDesigns would be a great one for my collection!
Celebrate fabulousness with this unicorn bag.
And here’s a sign your designer will appreciate: “Things Aren’t Always #000000 and #ffffff” (That’s black and white if you don’t speak hex code. )
Tools of the trade
This Pantone Magnet set can bring some color to the fridge or workspace.
This Pen Tool is Mightier than the Sword sticker from FlyingGiraffeStudio is something you can easily send in a card.
This Graphic Designer Pencil Set from BettiConfetti is practical and punny.
Design juice
Designers run on coffee. There are so many great mug choices on Etsy.
This Oh Crop mug really made me laugh.
We can also be font snobs so this Judging Your Font Choices mug could be a great gift – if the fonts aren’t ones your designer hates.
And you can always say thank you with a bottle of wine! Just print this Design Juice label from my Etsy Shop and stick to any bottle so your designer can refill their creative juices.
