Okay, I will admit it: graphic designers can be picky. I like to blame it on our artistic soul reaching for perfection… or maybe we’re just shallow (just kidding! Please no angry letters). Well, if you’re looking for the perfect gift for your perfect designer I have some suggestions.

1. T-shirts. More often than not designers work in a pretty laid back work environment. This means that there really isn’t a strict dress code, and I know from experience that designers love parading around in good design. I recommend:
Shirts from Snorg Tees
Shirts from Busted Tees
Shirts from Threadless

2. Sketch book. We run out of them fast and we love having our great looking sketches go into great looking books. I recommend:
Hand-bound books from erinzam
Paper products from MATTERIAL
Stationary from Brigada Creativa

3. Illustrations. As much as we would love to take credit for all the great works on our walls, it’s nice to display other great works for inspiration and diversity. I recommend:
Illustrations from Veer
Illustrations from erinzam
Illustrations from benben
