If you are ever wondering what to purchase a web designer (besides the latest Apple Macbook, Adobe Suite, Iphone, Ipad, Costa Coffee Vouchers or Graze box subscription), then take a look at my list below of 16 cool gadgets / items that would suit a designer perfectly. I handpicked these items today especially for you. It also got me thinking what i might like for christmas as well…
USB Coffee Warmer
Price: £7.99
If, Like me, you only ever drink 1/2 your tea, (because you forget about the world around you when you are designing / coding) then this could be the perfect thing for you!
USB Stick & Friend
Price: £14.99
I know that having Dropbox and iCloud is just as quick, but it’s still handy to have a Flash Drive or USB pen, just in case.
Chupa Chups Wheel
Price: £32.00
I just could not say no to this! Could you? It would be lovely to think i could have Chupa Chups on tap, anytime of the day!
Nike+ Fuelband
Price: £129
Being a Web Designer means that most of the time, you are sat down. This Nike+ Fuelband is a great gadget to ensure you keep active.
Wooden Tree USB Stick
Price: $55
Bring the Outdoors in, with a USB stick in the shape of a Tree Trunk. Although not very pocket-friendly, this is outweighed by it’s cool looks.
USB Hoover
Price: £3.50
Always handy, desks get so untidy from all the paperwork, sketches, pens, food and coffee these days
Lego Lunchbox
Price: £10.99
This makes me smile, There is a full lego range of boxes and cups as well.
Pantone Christmas Baubles
Price: £8.99 each or £42.99 for the full set
A little on the expensive side, but Pantone Baubles are a great idea.
Tangle Therapy by Tangle
Price: £8.00
Keep your hands healthy with this Tangle Therapy ‘thing’
UI Stencil
Price: $26.95
Make drawing your layouts and prototypes even easier with this UI stencil.
You are the CSS to my HTML Tee
Price: $26.00
Only Web Designers know what this means which makes it great! available in both Men’s and Women’s Sizes.
The Plug Mug
Price: £7.99
For offices where Mugs seem to disappear into oblivion. Keep the Plug safe and it renders the mug completely useless without.
Desktop Drumkit
Price: £7.99
Not that relevant to Web Designers, but some of the Creare Designers insisted that it was a vital part to this blog. I guess it can help to annoy other colleagues, as well as a stress-reliever, so still useful in some way!
Pixel Ruler
Price: $26.95
For designers who love to doodle, the Pixel Ruler is a great way to produce accurate sketches and initial design concepts for your clients and is based on Pixels. Who-ever thought of this idea is a genius.
