Looking for special gifts that won’t break your holiday budget? Read on for ideas from Taiwanese independent designers and artists, many of whom offer one-of-a-kind items.

MIIN Design’s Taiwanese snacks notebook won the graphic design studio a Red Dot Award communication design prize this year. The pocket-sized volume covers 118 markets with a large foldout map and includes picture guides to some of each place’s most popular snacks. There are plenty of blank pages for users to write their own reviews and paste or draw pictures of the things they have eaten, along with bookmark stickers to make looking up favorites a snap. The guide is available for NT$390 at most major bookstores.

Tenon’Art’s (坦諾設計, www.tenonart.com.tw) creations take paper crafting to another level, with sculptures made of layers upon layers of laser-cut cardboard. Their fun mounted animal heads (NT$349 to NT$1,700) include deer for traditionalists, and unicorns for people who want something a little more fantastical. The company’s latest release, the Adonis Ferris Wheel, is an extremely elaborate pre-assembled balsa wood sculpture with cars that can be detached and worn as pendants. Tenon’art items are available in Nordic on the second floor of Eslite Xinyi (誠品信義店), 2F, 11 Songgao Rd, Taipei City (台北市松高路11號), tel: (02) 2723-7221.
