The following is a gift guide for designers, artists, architects and all other creative professionals. I am an architect, so I use the term architect, but to use this guide you can replace the word “architect” with “non-engineer”.
This guide is broken down into distinct sections:
BOOKS | SKETCHING | NOVELTY | HOME | ACCESSORIES | ALCOHOL
Furthermore, if you want an in-depth analysis of every item in this guide (or if you just want to read mildly-witty banter) then go to the previous gift guides:
