The holidays are upon us, and Charles says he has been very “good” this year. So, what should we get him? Something sleek, something functional, something that makes him feel seen, perhaps? The team at Gaines Group Architect has scoured the internet to find the perfect Christmas present for Charles, the architect who has everything. What do you think we should pick?
1. A LEGO Architecture Set
Is it a toy? Is it a model? Is it a way for him to procrastinate on his actual work while still feeling productive? Yes. The correct answer is yes.
2. A Laser Measure
Say goodbye to the old-fashioned tape measure and hello to the future! This gadget is practical, accurate, and a lot cooler than a boring ruler. Plus, it’s perfect for when he is trying to measure the “exact” amount of holiday cheer in the room.
3. 3-D Printer
What architect doesn’t want to be able to print their creations? What a great way to see progress as the design evolves.
Not that he needs another one, but what if one of his many many black shirts fades to light black?
5. A Moleskine Notebook or Sketchbook
Architects are always sketching, jotting down ideas, and doodling on napkins. A high-quality sketchbook is a canvas for creativity, a place to capture the “next big idea” before he forgets it.
Why not support downtown businesses that Charles loves while giving Charles a gift? We all know he loves to shop and eat downtown.
7. Chocolate Chip Cookies!
We all know how Charles likes cookies, so this is an obvious choice.
8. Local Art
Charles is always looking for ways to support local artists like Lynn Adams, Barb Camph, Lori Mier, David Sutton, Noemi Salome, and Delaney Westwood.
9. Volunteer Time to a Local Nonprofit
Charles cares so much about our community and is always giving time and energy. Join us while we join him by gifting time to build a better future for us all.
Charles puts so much time into developing content that is valuable, clicking on this blog and past blogs is probably the best gift we can give him.
BONUS! Plant a Peace Pole
Over the last year Charles has been raising money through the Rotary Club of Rockingham County to plant Peace Poles in the community.
We think this is a pretty great list if you ask us! Do you have any other ideas? Let us know!
