Top 5 Christmas Shopping Sites for Designers
Published on November 24, 2009 / Products
Whether you enjoy Christmas shopping or not, gift-giving is a way to show your sense of creativity and imagination to others. It can articulate who you are and who a gift’s recipient is. Featured in this post are five hand-picked websites that have been a great help to me in finding the right gifts for others while expressing myself as a designer during the holiday season.
Site 1 / The Design Town
Not an actual retailer, The Design Town is like a web gallery for the hottest products in the market today. Its frequently-updated showcase covers a broad spectrum of gift-giving possibilities and can ignite limitless ideas. Here, ordinary products are invigorated by design, making The Design Town my number one shopping stop.
Site 2 / Think Geek
A well-known retailer, Think Geek serves a market passionate about technology. Gifts here are generally more appropriate for a tech-savvy recipient.
Site 3 / Unique Piece
Brought to you by the same people at The Design Town, Unique Piece offers gifts one probably would never think of – small in size, but big in expression and all about design.
Site 4 / Koyono
Koyono offers specialized products to one wanting to add simplicity, innovation, and good design to one’s lifestyle. I own the SlimSlimmy wallet which I feel expresses myself through its design – organized, minimalist, and compact.
Site 5 / JibJab
The most personalized gift-giving experience I’ve found online, JibJab offers custom, animated greeting cards featuring yourself, your family, your friends, or anyone else you want to star. They’re free to personalize and preview and can draw a strong crowd reaction.

I love Jibjab! My all time favorite time waster. We used to put the bosses pictures on the dancing heads while prepress was slow.
