In the 7th annual "What to get an Architect for Christmas" post, I can guarantee you will have success shopping for the special, overly-picky self-righteous architect on your shopping list.

While researching potential gift ideas for this year’s 7th Annual What to Get an Architect for Christmas, I found a lot of lists that were full of really icky and terrible gift ideas that were clearly NOT put together by an architect. You know what architects don’t want"They don’t want blueprint cuff links, blueprint business card holders, or a paperweight made to look like a wadded up blueprint!Luckily, last time I checked, I am a real architect and I know what other real architects want – at least I know what this architect wants for Christmas. So take a chance with those highly questionable gift lists put together by “not-an-architect”, or follow my lead and get that extremely picky architect in your life something they’ll actually not make fun of behind your back for buying.Everlane – Twill Weekender Bag  $98I already have this bag, but consider this my personal request for people to get rid of their roller bags in favor of a classic style weekender bag. I have flown 18 times for work this year – somewhere in the neighborhood of 40,000 miles – and my average trip lasts no more than 3 days. Unless I am packing 3″ D-ring binders and stone samples, I prefer to carry a bag with some style.Chisel & Mouse...
