10 Last-minute Gifts for Web Designers

Posted on December 17th, 2009 by jason

Q: What do I get for the Web designer who has everything?

The short answer is real estate.

The slightly longer answer is, anything that helps spark their creativity.

The long answer is that, whether it’s Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or another December holiday (I prefer Saturnalia myself) the Winter Solstice is traditionally a time of gift giving. So, what to give to that Web designer you know who has everything they need to actually make Web sites?

Here are 10 ideas for gifts they will love but not expect.

NOTE: All prices are in US Dollars and rounded to the nearest dollar.

1. Icons Web Design Books by Taschen

Taschen Web Design book from their Icons series.

$10/each

Taschen makes beautiful books. They make especially beautiful books about visual design, and the books in their Web Design series are chock full of cool Web sites with brief, to the point descriptions. I like to pick these up while I’m brainstorming to get ideas and inspirations.

At 10 bucks a copy, they also make an inexpensive gift or great stocking stuffer. Get these online from Taschen, Amazon, or Powels or find them in a local book shop.
