Fifteen years after bringing the art form known as “gift guide” to the Internet we are reaching into our back catalog for a classic edition to remix. In 2012 we introduced *The Seven Designer Phenotypes* to the world both online and in a pair of pop-up stores. Originally populated by our editors and illustrated by Tony Ruth, the guide was a hit. Now, we’re turning the idea over to our community of designers for an updated take on these classic archetypes.
Recognize yourself among these? Perfect, then add those items that you’d want to receive – those that meet your standards for designer-to-designer gifting. Do it by December 17th, 2020, and your name will be entered into our prize raffle.
Anyone who adds a gift suggestion or upvotes a published gift item will be added to a grand prize gift raffle:
1. Go to our Ultimate Gift Guide homepage and choose a designer type to see their gift guide.
2. Click the button at the top of the individual gift guide page that says “Add Your Item and Win!”
3. Enter the information for your suggestion. Make sure to include an image!
4. Click “Submit for Consideration” when you’re done—once the product is published online, your name will be enter into our grand prize raffle!
You’re allowed to suggest as many products as you like (1 product listed = 1 entry in our raffle), so go wild. You can also be entered into the raffle by simply upvoting an existing entry. However, in the case of voting, you will only be entered once into the raffle regardless of how many votes you make.
