30 Fabby Gifts for Designers & Developers. Get One Now!
Do you remember my recent post about gift ideas for photographers? I decided to continue this topic and drop in some creative present ideas for web designers and developers.
Most of the artists are like kids. Would you like to bring a happy smile on the face of your friend or beloved person? Of course, you do.
Moreover, making somebody happy won’t harry you. Just shop wisely and take the most out of the ‘Black Friday’ discounts!
Designers and developers have a specific world outlook, so you need to pick out the presents for them very carefully.
Working at one of the world’s best web design companies, I tried my best to simplify this challenging task for you. I guess I have a clue of what could make a designer happy.
The first idea that flashed through my mind was about WEBSITE TEMPLATES! Do you know what project is your friend working on right now? Present him/her one of the professional TemplateMonster’s themes. This will make his/her life a little bit easier and free the artist’s time.
You can go even further and buy one of our multipurpose themes. This way you will provide yourself or your friend with a whole web development toolkit. The offers “pay for one – get 50” are always beneficial, aren’t they?
That was just the first, extremely practical idea, read on and see how unpredictable and imaginative you can seem these holidays.
Below you will see a list of 30 affordable, serviceable, funny, etc. gift ideas for web designers and developers.
