{"title":"Gifts for Designers","description":"\u003cp\u003eDesigners are famously hard to buy for. They've got opinions about typefaces, opinions about water bottles, opinions about gifts, and they can spot a generic present from across the room. The good gifts for designers lean into that instead of fighting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe design for a living, so everything in this collection comes from inside the building. The Recovering Perfectionist tee is embroidered, and it names the exact condition design school gives you. The No Longer Taking Suggestions hoodie covers every round of feedback that went one round too long. Cruel by Design started as a Victorian ghost illustration we found in the public domain and couldn't put down.
