SPD Membership
One of the best gifts you can give this year, but we may be biased! A membership is the gift that keeps on giving. With monthly happy hours and quarterly virtual talks and events (free to members), your happy recipient will be reminded of your generosity throughout the year. When you give an SPD membership you are not only supporting the premier professional organization of publication design, but inspiring the friend, colleague, or student you are sharing with.
SPD Merch!
Deliver your gift of an SPD membership in a canvas bag, a mug, or plenty of other fun merch, available on the SPD website.
