Amongst the merry-making, mulled wine and carols of this holiday season comes the pleasure of gift-giving – and with it, the analysis paralysis of what presents to buy!

For the graphic designers in our lives – the maestros commanding type, form, print, page and pixel – finding the perfect present is additionally stressful due to their (most likely) very selective inclinations. Basically, graphic designers are usually quite picky, aren’t they... But rest assured, we’re here to help with a festive gift guide for graphic designers, curated to their discerning tastes.

This Christmas, think beyond Pantone mugs and the same old Phaidon books on design and look towards more exciting, contemporary horizons – where the presents themselves are bound to inspire their everyday creativity. After all, the best Christmas gifts are not just objects; they are gateways to untapped artistic ideas – just waiting to be explored!
