As much as we sometimes try to convince ourselves otherwise, we’re not all designers. We know what pixels are, and we like to think that we have the “eye” to make things look good. But there are plenty of people that are way better at layouts, image manipulation and design. [We know this for a fact because we hired one.] Knowing all of those things does not make the Pixel Ruler from UI Stencils any less cool. It’s a bit like the standard stainless ruler we’ve all owned at one point, but the measurements are in pixels. 150ppi scale to be exact. There are also helpful marks for mobile, tablet and widescreen layouts. It’s pretty much a must for any designer, but could also double as a straight edge for the rest of us that don’t have Adobe CS licenses.

Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
