    “I keep this one by my bedside because it’s filled with photos of iconic products—everything from the paperclip to a Chemex coffee maker—and tidy nuggets about each. I nod off with a new design tidbit settling into my subconscious. (Pair this with an eyemask or flannel PJs, and I bet you’d have a very happy gift recipient.)”
