As the holiday season draws near, putting together gifts for the special people in your life moves to the top of any to do list. Trying to find thoughtful but meaningful gifts for the designers, writers, or musicians in your life can be challenging, as we often don't ask for much. Here is a short but concise list of possible gifts for the creative people in your life.

1. HP Sprocket Printer

HP recently released a portable printer, about the size of an iPhone, that prints 2”x3” photos instantly from your camera roll. Download the HP app and connect to the printer via Bluetooth and print your pictures in a matter of minutes. It uses no ink and no cartridges; paper is all you need. This device is great for the person who loves looking back on old memories.

2. Amazon Echo

Amazon echo is basically Siri but for your house, or for a designer, studio. It’s always listening, and if that doesn’t creep you out, this device can come in handy. It can stream music from Spotify, read sports scores, add items to your calendar, and much more. It recognizes your voice above the music it’s playing, and from across the room. It has technology that continues to learn your voice, therefore responding faster to you. Amazon echo would be the ultimate gift for that person in your life who is always using Siri.

3. Wireless Headphones

With the release of the new iPhone 7, wireless headphones are becoming a trend. Wireless headphones are a simple but thoughtful gift for those in your life who are always working with their hands. Headphone wires tend to become a hassle for designers in studio trying to draw or build a model.

4. Coloring Books

Coloring books are making a comeback; this time, for adults. A lot of coloring books are themed, therefore allowing you to cater to whom you’re gifting to. It seems like a cheesy gift, but I promise, if you’re gifting to a creative person, they’ll love you for it.

Hopefully you'll take some of these things into consideration while shopping this holiday season.
