With the holidays right around the corner, it can be difficult to find the perfect type of gift for certain people in your life. One of those people might be someone in your life that is a designer or creative. It’s very common that designers or creatives will shy away from wanting typical gifts that are on everyone’s list and go for experiences or useful design thinking tools to help them with their next project, meet some kind of objective in their everyday lives.

In addition, while most of the world has gone digital, many creatives and designers can agree that they still use basic, traditional tools to make a point, keep track of their ideas and more. For example, while many prefer to keep track of their day with an app on their phone – many creatives still carry around an agenda or pocket calendar.

Down below we’ve narrowed down 4 awesome gifts ideas for the designer (or creative) in your life, that they will appreciate – all under $60!

1. Butterflyboard ($39).

Say hello to the first ever whiteboard that is about the size of a laptop and can fit inside your bag. The Butterflyboard is a great tool for busy designers or general creatives to visually jot down their ideas or if you work with a team, it’s a perfect tool to have a brainstorm session together! While we rely on technology for our day to day, this item offers simplicity and back to basics – not waiting for anything to power on or forgetting your ideas because you had nowhere to write them down.
