If you’re anything like me, you’re not even close to finishing your holiday shopping. Things aren’t slowing down at the office so the thought of spending the weekend fighting crowds for gifts feels a bit overwhelming. Thank goodness for the Internet. Here are my picks that are perfect for agency friends – best of all, you can shop for them from the comfort of your couch.
DESK DELIGHTS
We all need fabulous office supplies that can turn a cubicle into a desk of wonders. You can find these luscious little treasures at TINY UNIVERSE, a gem of a store located in Pasadena, CA.
Shop paper goods, art, journals and plenty more to dazzle any work space.
Loving this tiny pottery, found at Tiny Universe, made by funsize ceramics.
MAD MEN CHRISTMAS ALBUM
This limited edition red vinyl is exclusive to Urban Outfitters. I’ve been playing this album for the past couple months, way before it was even close to the holidays. If anyone you know is a Mad Men fan, this is definitely a fun gift to give.
For those who don’t have a record player, the CD version is also available at Target.
INSPIRATIONAL PRINTS
Warm up your space with these prints by Design Sellout. You can purchase them already framed, or you can download each design for only $5 and print them yourself- a thoughtful yet affordable gift idea especially if you’re getting presents for your entire team.
WINTER READING
The holidays are a great time to curl up under the covers with a good book. Confessions of an Advertising Man by David Ogilvy is an awesome read, and a perfect stocking stuffer, for any Agency Addict. Get it from Amazon.
LEATHER GOODS
Versatile accessories are great for your friends who are client facing. This leather pouch by Tam Brand Supply is small enough to fit inside your usual purse or tote, but when you have to be on the go and head to a client dinner, it’s the perfect size to act as a clutch and hold all your essentials.
Even better, they’re made with super soft leather purchased in the US.
PANTONE NOVELTIES
These Pantone novelties from BRIT+CO are such fun gifts for any graphic designer. Loving the Pantone ornaments.
These Pantone boxes come in multiple colors – so fun for storing away clutter.
There you have it – some of my fave picks this holiday season. Happy shopping, everyone!
