5 Great Gifts Under $50 That Every Web Designer & Developer Wants

Posted on 12/09/09 | Category: blog, design | Tags: , , ,

Have you been looking for that perfect Christmas gift for your favorite blue-eyed blonde haired developer? (That’s me!) Perhaps you’re a client who wants to reward their freelancer? Or maybe you’ve just been good all year and want to buy yourself something awesome.

In spite of the very stressful week it has been (sorry for skipping a post yesterday) I thought we’d all hunker down together and have something enjoyable that doesn’t deal with business. Presents! (Please email me if you’d like my address to send these too…*wink wink*)

Buy Now!-1

1) The Smashing Book

I don’t normally read books about web design and programming, but this is at the top of my list. The book looks awesome!

Details from site: The book has 313 pages in all, full of practical knowledge for designers and Web developers. It contains 10 chapters and is printed in full color. The book is a paperback and is 8.27 × 5.5 inches (21 × 14 cm). It contains colorful illustrations created by designers from the Russia-based SoftFacade (Anton Zykin, Dmitry Tsozik, Anna Myagkova).

Buy it from Smashing Magazine for $29.90

2) Typography Art

Great for spicing up any office. There are so many great works of art dealing with type out there. My favorite happens to be Helvetica art.

Available on Etsy for $6+

3) All Your Base Are Belong To Us T-Shirts

You can only be a real geek if you know what it means, so where

the t-shirt from ThinkGeek to show it off!

Find it at ThinkGeek for $15.99

4) Seth Godin’s Tribes Book

Great for any freelancer or marketing enthusiast.

Find it at Amazon for $13.57

5) Griffin’s iTrip with App Support for iPhones/iPods

Perfect for any long trip, and it comes with an app that lets you control the  iTrip via the touchscreen!

Find it at Griffin Technology for $49.99

    Any chance of having the links go directly to the products you’re discussing instead of the homepages? :)
