Ask HN: Gift for web designer
My friend and fellow web designer is celebrating his birthday today.
I don't have idea for a gift, but I am thinking about buying him some software, or licence for some design work.
He php, drupal programmer and quite good designer.
Any ideas?

And go with him.
Or a really unique dinner.
Because he'll remember and talk about an experience for years longer than he'll remember a license.

If he's designing on a Mac, then I'm sure a poster such as Michael Flarup's Keep Calm would be a cool gift[1]. If he is on Windows I am sure he'll still enjoy some kind of design poster.

PragmataPro is a nice programming font. The regular width (which is all your really need, IMO) is $19; the full version is $170: http://www.fsd.it/fonts/pragmatapro.htm
Thanks for the idea. It is really nice, I am just afraid if buying a single font not a little to small for a gift...
maybe something like the visibone charts:

Get him a blue beanie.
what platform does he develop on?
At his company they all use Drupal. He knows php, but I am not sure if he uses any other platforms.
