It's that time of year again. I really like Christmas. It not only glorifies the coming of Christ, but it's a fun holiday too. It's a time of joy, good intentions, giving, and fun.
But sometimes it can be a little difficult finding the right types of gifts for people. And I know that most non-designers don't have a clue what to get their graphic designer friends. Well, I hope this post helps a bit. Here's a list of gift ideas most designers would really appreciate.
