We’re already almost half way through the month of December, that’s crazy! I love shopping for gifts for friends and family, and I always pick up a little something here and there for myself while I’m piling things into the basket, and I usually come prepared with wishlists from those I’m shopping for. When asked for a wishlist from someone to buy for me, I always put in the usuals for every year- socks, a certain lipstick, a candle, etc. But this year is when I’ve changed the most as a person and within my situation- I moved to Berlin, Germany to study to become a graphic designer. With that, my priorities shifted. I became focused on creating and finding inspiration to help better myself in my future career. And I’ve realized along the way that a few items would really help me with long nights, exhaustive creative blocs, and stressful conundrums that abruptly stopped my workflow. So I present a gift guide for designers! If your friend is a designer or creative, go the extra mile to show them that you acknowledge and appreciate their creativity by gifting them things that would help them prosper, or just enjoy some nice things in life that winks to their passion.

Long distance relationships may seem like all fun and games until it’s your significant other’s birthday… Then it gets real. Or Valentine’s Day… and it gets realer. And it’s always stressful, you can’t just hastily get a gift at the last minute for these types of relationships, it includes planning and time management. Four years ago I had to get everything in order and take it to the post office two weeks before his birthday, just so it can get on time– and it did! One year I threw everything in a box and scurried to the post office and it shipped in five days! The future! And if you’re lovestruck baboon like I am, you’ll surely know that you’d have to make that present for any holiday extra special to compensate for you not physically sharing it with them.
So a birthday, Valentine’s Day, or Christmas gift or any package in general is unfinished without these:
