Still need a little something for the creative people in your life? We have 10 great stocking stuffers that any designer or developer would love to find in his or her stocking this Christmas.
1. Smudge guard gloves for tablets
For designers who work on tablets, Wacom tablets or even with pencil or charcoal, a Smudge Guard glove is a handy accessory that prevents hand smudges on tablet screens and graphite smudges on paper. They also facilitate smoother use of a Wacom tablet. They’re interchangeable for left and right handed artists.
2. The Responsive Design Sketchbook
Responsive is only going to get bigger in 2013. Give your favorite developers the tools they need to visualize all their slick responsive sites.
This, along with a sketching software, turns your iPad from a toy to a powerful design tool.
4. How to Be a Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul
Essential reading.
5. Complete A Book Apart Library
This collection of eight books on design and dev theory was written by some of the biggest thinkers in the business. They’re educational and highly inspiring.
You know when you’re just so engrossed in a project that you forget about your coffee until it’s ice cold? Yeah, not anymore.
7. Skullcandy Over the Ear Headphones
Great sound, without the huge pricetag.
This site that allows designers to sell prints of their work truly has something for everyone. Perfect anytime you need a unique gift.
This card game is Apples to Apples for people with twisted minds. Not for the faint of heart (or kids).
Because your late-night ideas don’t fit on a Post-it.
