Holidays are almost here and we’re all brimming with happy anticipation.
Or not. It usually depends on how our Christmas-presents-to-buy lists are going.
Personally, I’m feeling slightly panicky because I have been thinking about presents for at least a month. But no, I still haven’t bought all of them.
I hand-picked these ideas for presents for designers as a way to find inspiration and fight my own Christmas procrastination. All items are beautiful, functional, and available on Amazon. Some are expensive, some not – I tried to make the list diverse and quirky.
If you happen to be a designer yourself, you could add some of these to your personal holiday wish list!
To those who don’t know what to buy for their friends and relatives engaged in web design, I say: cheer up and let’s get through the holiday templates fever together!
