The Graphic Designer Gift Guide, 2022 Edition

There is an art to gift-giving.

Finding that perfect item the receiver would appreciate, and yet doesn’t already own. Something they want, but wouldn’t spend the money on for themselves.

It requires really knowing the receiver, the items they use regularly, their likes and dislikes, their personal style and taste. And, sometimes, their profession.

Here’s a list of great gifts for rewarding yourself for 2022's hard work. Or for your work bestie, mentor, or plain old designer buddy.

This Chanukah 2022 Edition of the Designer Gift Guide includes newly released products, along with some classics. You can find the Chanukah 2021 Gift Guide here.
