Christmas at Smallfry: The Ultimate Design Wish List
The holiday season is here, and at Smallfry, we’re getting into the festive spirit! Our team of designers spends their days dreaming up innovative ideas and bringing them to life, but what’s on their wish lists this Christmas?
We asked our design team to share the gifts they’d love this year, from tools that spark innovation to items that fuel their passions outside of design. And because it’s the season of giving, we want to spread the Christmas joy!
Share what you would love for Christmas in the comments on our LinkedIn post by December 19th, and we might just make your wish come true.

THE SMALLFRY WISH LIST:
Charles Jones
A yellow Leuchtturm 1917 A5 dot ruled sketch book and a muji gel pen.
All great ideas start with notes and sketches. This vibrant high-quality notebook is perfect for capturing your thoughts and the dotted grid layout keeps your ideas organised and helps maintain scale.
Paired with a precise Muji pen to make the most of the notebook’s space, this is an ideal combination for a premium notebook that’s worth the investment.
Cyrus Darabi
For my gift choice, I’d love to add the HOTO Manual Precision Screwdriver Set to my kit.
I’m quite a practical person, so having a reliable set of tools is really important to me—not just for putting prototypes together or fixing things in the studio, but also for doing repairs at home.
Being able to repair and extend the life of products is such an important part of sustainability, and as designers, that’s something we’re always thinking about. This kind of gift is practical, but also reflects the values behind what we do.

I would like the CURRENTBODY SKIN LED Face Mask.
Ramping up self-care nights, I want one of these to boost my skincare routine and feel like I’m having a facial experience at home and if it helps with anti-aging then that’s just an added bonus!
Ella Harvey
An Always Pan 2.0 by Our Place.
I really appreciate a high-quality piece of kitchen equipment but can never justify buying them for myself. I love a multi-purpose product, and this has 10-in-1: fry, sauté, steam, roasting, bake, skillet, saucier, non-stick, spatula, and spoon rest.
I’ll admit I’d never heard of a “saucier” before and debatably we’re looking at more like 5 functions, but I appreciate the ability to use it both on the hob and in the oven, saving cleaning and space. To top it all off, it’s made of 100% recycled aluminium, all manufacturing wastewater is treated and recycled, the non-stick coating is toxin-free, and the colour doesn’t hurt either!

Luca Frondella
The Braun Silent Sweep Analogue Wall Clock.
I like this because of its clean, minimal aesthetic which balances style and function, making it super easy to read with its pop of orange on the second hands and punchy font. I really like some of the Braun products, with a lot of their designs inspiring many of today’s user interfaces.

Personally I would love the BenQ ScreenBar Halo, a lightbar that fits above your desktop screen to light up your workspace without causing screen glare.
BenQ have successfully identified a key customer need, introduced an innovative solution, and created a new category in the home office space.
Overall, I believe this product is a great example of how exceptional industrial design and engineering can empower businesses to elevate their offerings and differentiate themselves from the competition.

Samuel Collins
The Anker MagGo Wireless charging station.
I’m adding this product to my wish list because of the functionality and versatility it provides in an elegant and compact package.
With three spaces to charge my phone, watch and earbuds simultaneously, It would greatly reduce the worries of tangled cables. The phone stand can also accommodate the “always on” display features of many new phones, converting this minimalist stand into an alarm clock.
