It’s the time again, 2017 marks our 5th annual Dribbble Gift Guide! This gift guide is a small way for us to feature the amazing things that members of our community make and to support their small businesses. We hope you’ll consider buying directly from some of these amazing Dribbblers!
Make Good
You know what would make a great gift? A beautiful, limited-edition coffee table magazine featuring work by the best artists on Dribbble and Ello. Bonus: the proceeds will go to All Hands and Hearts—a US-based, 501(c)3 non-profit organization that addresses the immediate and long-term needs of communities impacted by natural disasters by engaging and leveraging volunteers, partner organizations and local communities.
Read more about the project and then pre-order Make Good or make a donation.
All The Tees
We’re huge fans of Cotton Bureau—an online platform that makes it super easy for designers and communities to sell t-shirts and other merchandise. Right now they’re reprinting all the tees. Check out some designs from Dribbblers below.
Row 1: Josh Cooper, Krystal Keller, Noah Jacobus.
Stick a Pin in It
Enamel pins are still having a moment. In fact, we featured them in Shot Block not once, but twice. We’re mega impressed at the prolific pin makers of Dribbble.
Row 1: Aliz Buzas, Annie Lin, Crusoe Design Co. - Jon Brommet.
Good Press
With so many incredible prints popping up all the time on Dribbble, we thought we’d highlight letterpress prints. Letterpress is a unique form of printing that catches light beautifully and can really bring a whole room together.
Row 1: Amy Hood for Hoodzpah, Levi Lowell, Jason Courtney.
Type Hike
Way back in 2016, we featured some of the incredible work from the Type Hike project in a Shot Block. They’re back with more beautiful merch.
Row 1: Vincent Conti, Kevin Kroneberger, Ben Stafford.
Patch Work
Stocking stuffer, jacket-repairer, backpack styler. The patch is a classic gift for that well-decorated friend or family member.
Row 1: Paul Kreizenbeck, Lauren Dickens, ampersandrew.
Pennants
Rah-rah! Pennants are in. Stick them on the desk or hang them on the wall for the reminder they need.
Row 1: Benson Chou, Joshua Minnich, Ken Zakovich.
For Writers
Pick up these paper goods for your friends who have the discipline to actually write everything down.
Row 1: Harry Diaz, Amber Asay.
In the Bag
Who doesn’t always need a tote? Everyone always needs another tote. Trust us.
Row 1: Sam Croswell, Argiris B, Tim Boelaars.
