It’s that time of year when you need to come up with some fab ideas for original Christmas presents. If you’ve got a designer (of any sort) to buy for, then it’s especially tricky.  Whether they’re a designer by trade, or simply someone who seeks out good design in everything they do, this is the person who causes the most pressy angst!  Will they like it, will they think it’s ’so last year’, will it ‘go’ in their home or fit in with their look.

Fear not, we’ve carefully selected our top 5 suggestions for what to buy the designer for Christmas.  Each one has a strong design-led feel and a design community following.  Here they are:

1. Anything Whitelines or Rhodia – both of these notebook brands have a cult following in the design world. Simple, elegant and functional – everything that a designer could wish for. If you’re looking for more than a simple notebook, the Rhodia range includes a Rhodia Essentials Gift Box, and some beautiful leather journals.

2. Speech Bubble Paper Clips – the perfect stocking filler for anyone who knows that it’s the little details that really count.

3. Fabio Handcrafted A4 Leather Journal – this journal is absolutely the epitome of the perfect leather notebook. With 100% cotton paper inside, and the finest leather cover, you can actually smell the quality of this journal.

4. An Acme Designer Pen – Acme commission designs for their pens from leading designers around the world, including Rod Dyer, Karim Rashid and Alexander Girard.  A solidly designed pen that feels as good as it looks.

5. A luxury any day diary – this is a sleek and chic diary that lets you start at any time of the year – you simply date the pages as and when you use them.  A great idea for anyone who wants to note their creative ideas as and when they arrive.
