Today is the 1st of December, which means if you've been managing to fend off the holiday cheer that seems to begin earlier each year, now is probably the time to get excited, or at the very least prepared. That means gifts, for your family, your friends, your co-workers, and maybe even yourself. If you're anything like me, this time often involves numerous panicked visits to the mall and desperate perusals online for the perfect gift. But, luckily for you, to save some stress, we've curated some pretty good options this year for the architects and design enthusiasts in your life.

For the Post-modern coffee (or tea) drinker: these 1st Floor Grey Mugs designed by Adam Nathaniel Furman are a great option for your co-worker who always seems to go for that second cup.

For the Brutalist who prefers Espresso: this concrete espresso machine, that also comes in Corian, is sure to turn heads while also delivering cafe-quality brews. A product from the design studio Montaag, the espresso machine will artfully earn every bit of real estate on any kitchen counter. 

Unfortunately, delivery isn't anticipated until March 2018 but, that is just enough time for the gift's recipient to have grown tired of their others.

For your friend with an original Eames chair: everybody loves Eames and UNIQLO's SPRZ NY EAMES Collection is a great way to give the gift of his timeless design this season without breaking the bank.

For the vegan minimalist who's always late: the new K-series watch by Glasgow-based company, Instrmnt, is a simple and sleek way to drop a hint to your coworker who never makes a meeting on time. Inspired by mid-20th century industrial design, each watch comes with a PVD coated 40mm case in brushed silver or black, a sapphire crystal glass cover, a Swiss Ronda 585 3H movement, and a nitrile rubber strap that also happens to be vegan.

For the budding urban planner: similar to the Plus-Plus set, this collection of architectural building blocks designed by James Paulius, is a great substitute for the standard architectural toy and this particular set—Blockitecture Garden City—allows the master planner to add pavilions and garden terraces to their vertical cities. Never too young to start experimenting with mass housing schemes, it is the perfect gift for the next Neave Brown!

For the person who could stand to have another book about Frank Lloyd Wright: Sure, more ink has likely been spilled on his work than any other architect but, as far as that ink goes, this one is spilled pretty well. Published alongside a major exhibition at MOMA for the architect's 150th birthday, the hefty volume is a necessary library addition for every fan.

For the thirsty fan of Scandinavian design: these drink rocks made of soapstone and marble keep your cocktail glass cool without diluting your spirits. Designed by Runa Klock and inspired by her childhood in Norway, they are the perfect gift for fans of stiff drinks and Nordic design.

For the "cool" architect: rumor has it, Frank Gehry used to be a huge stoner and while that might have been taboo back in the day, as more and more states legalize the substance, smoking weed has become commonplace. From designing marijuana shops to unique products, even architects and designers have started embracing the industry and this dual-use vaporizer from PAX 3 is great for your friend who couldn't be happier about it.

With three different paper types—plain, grid, or dot grid—the cloth wrapped, light gray notebook is perfect for any architect whose a talent with a pencil and paper.

For the architect that's 'extra': in a somewhat trollish manner, Tiffany&Co recently released a line of "Everyday Objects" at not so everyday price points. The collection features items like tin cans, first aid boxes, and a $9,000 ball of yarn. If you're lucky enough to be one of the few people unharmed by the GOP tax plan, this set of walnut and sterling silver LEGOs (opps, i mean "building blocks") is a great way to show someone you care.
