Christmas For Designers
|
Posted by Mary Rayme Dec 12, 2006 |
Oh no! It's almost Christmas, I hate going to the mall, and I have to some tasteful yet creative Christmas shopping for several witty and urbane relatives who are tired of moonshine and local honey.
So it goes most every year that someone on the listserve for the Washington DC chapter of the American Institute for Graphic Artists sends out a query for cool places where designers shop. After all, graphic designers are known (not only for wearing black) but also for having impeccable, cutting-edge taste. Graphic designers are the arbiters of cool, the yet the iconoclasts of the industry.
Below, in no particular order, is a list of URLs to cool and groovy places to shop for holiday goodies. Just copy and paste the URLs into your browser. Some products and gifts are environmentally friendly, others are just cool and fun. Know any more that I haven't included? Email me, it's not Christmas yet.
Happy Holidays, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanzaa and Happy Solstice to all!
