One thing that should never be stressful though is figuring out gifts for your friends and family. It should be fun finding things that they’ll love based on their interests. And if you have a friend or loved one who wants to dip their toes into the graphic design pool but doesn’t know where to start, this gift guide is for you!
If you need help deciding which design class to gift, here are a few of our favorites below.
