So I found 32 gifts that will appeal to the typography nerd in your life – or that person who sees life through a fish-eye lens or the one who can’t put down the iPhone. Best of all, none of these items is over $100 – most not even close. Just click on the images to purchase any gifts that pique your interest here.
