We don’t do gift guides here on Design Milk because, well, everyone does them. We like to be different. So we decided to go in another direction this year. Since our staff is getting larger, we thought it would be fun to ask each person what was on their wishlist this holiday season. So, every day for next 2 weeks we’ll feature a staff wishlist. Here’s what Crystal is crossing her fingers for.

1. Color Masking Tape Set 2. Brand Puzzle 3. Sky Planter 4. Hamster Bank 5. Vitra Uten Silo Large Wall Organizer or 6. This one 7. Typeface 8. Made in Bunch Book 9. Moustache Pencils 10. Wooden Letters

Awesome & it’s made from eco-felt (100% recycled plastic bottles!) & it would be a great typophile gift!

Pieter de Leeuw is a recent graduate in Industrial Design and this is his thesis: letters in various colors that can be arranged to the user’s liking. The wooden letters can also be used as seating. You can these pieces on display now at Utrecht Verplettert in The Netherlands through October 25th.

Two typographers and a pro race pilot collaborated to design a font with a car. The car movements were tracked using a custom software, designed by interactive artist Zachary Lieberman.

Download the car font.
