I curated a list of best gifts for them just in case you need one for a last-minute Holiday gift shopping. PS: Click the image for product links ;). Not a paid advertisement

A mechanical pencil is no doubt one of the best gifts to any designers and creatives. Getting them a durable one that will last for a very long time is a good pick.
Wooden Round Edge Cubes Blocks
Wooden cube and puzzles are novels that entertain architects. It helps them in conceptual massing or just by simply keeping their hands busy (in a creative way). This can also be a good addition as a unique piece in their workspace.
Translucent Sticky Notes
Stickies are a great gift idea for architects, designers and anyone who works in an office. They're useful for making quick notes or reminders, but they can also be used to communicate with others. For example, if you have several people working on a project together, sticky notes might be the perfect tool for keeping everyone up-to-date on what's happening at any given time.
Book: The language of cities by Deyan Sudjic
Great books make great gifts.Books are a great gift for architects. They can be used as reference materials, but they also make great conversation starters and decorations.If you're not sure what kind of book to get your architect friend or family member, here are some suggestions: Architecture books – There are plenty of them out there! You can find everything from elementary school level up through graduate level texts on architecture. Art books – These will have lots of illustrations that may help explain concepts or problems in an easier way than just text alone would do so for someone who is already familiar with those topics (like me).
You can get something for everyone on your gift list here!
Whether it's the architect in your life, or someone who works in the design world, these are all great choices.
