Holiday Gift Ideas For Ad Peeps: Part 1

+ As the holidays approach everyone is looking for gift ideas for their favorite copywriters, art directors, designers, creative directors and more. So, I thought I'd help by posting somethings I've come across that these folks would like. It might not be "the thing" but it might help spark some ideas for gifts for your team. More items will be posted as I come across them throughout the next month and a half.

Copywriter:
USB Typewriter! Yes that's right. Days of yesteryear's clickity-clacks can still be enjoyed in our digital age.

Purchase a typewriter turned into a USB-ready keyboard or get the kit to do-it-yourself.



Sweet!





Social Media Guru: 
Who wouldn't love an embroidered towel with their tweet? 

Personalize it with your own message or tweet just for them too.

Each is hand-embroidered.

Designer:
Pantone Flash Drives. These beauties are available in sizes that range from 1GB-16 GB sizes and in 14 PANTONE colors, and can be engraved. The perfect blend of design-y and practical :)


More information can be found here. Or maybe you're interested in a PANTONE themed gift set, then check out PANTONE mugs, purses and bags too.


Art Director:
Give them the tools to do their best work, or make them look sharp doing it with Sharpie Stainless Steel pen case, Liquid Pencil or Paint markers.

 
 




Liquid Pencil, Sharpie Oil-Based Paint Marker, or classy Stainless Steel case for their Sharpie.


User Experience/IA:
Give a gift that gives your UX/IA peeps a chance to take a break from staring at their computer screen while still getting work done. The UI Stencils provides offers sketch pads for browsers and iPhone formats as well as stencils for websites, iPhone, Android and more.

Creative Director/ACD:
When a decision needs to get made, "Do we push this concept or let it die?", give a gift that can help make the process a bit easier with the Executive Decision Maker Desk Toy. You can personalize it as well. Also a good gift for the CEO/COO/CFO and Account peeps in your life.
