It’s the season to deck the halls, light up the campaigns, and gift something that’s both useful and delightfully unexpected. Because your favorite marketer deserves more than another coffee mug.
Here are our gift suggestions packed with clever presents that say, “I want your campaigns to slay in 2026.”
1. Words That Work: Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 12th Edition
Yes, it’s print. And yes, it’s beautiful.
This is the first new print edition from Merriam-Webster in over 20 years — a timeless desk companion for copywriters, strategists, and anyone obsessed with the power of words.
Our Creative Brand Strategist, B.C. Wallin puts it best: “While the internet leans toward what you already know you want, a physical dictionary lets you stumble upon what you never knew you needed.”
It’s part tool, part inspiration, part décor. Wrap it in a ribbon and gift a daily reminder that words still matter.
2. Plan to Shine: The High Performance Planner
Forget basic planners, this one is built from a global study on high performance. It blends scheduling with self-coaching, offering daily mindset prompts (“What bold action could I take today?”) and nightly reflections (“What moment did I really appreciate?”).
For founders and marketers, it’s gold. It helps answer the question we all dodge: Did I actually move the needle today?
Pair it with a great pen and a note: “Because our biggest asset is your best self.”
3. Unwrap the Spark: A Digital Creativity Prompt Tool
When the creative well runs dry, give a digital spark. Prompt-generating tools, from idea starters to headline helpers, are the new brainstorm buddies: fast, fresh, and surprisingly fun.
Think: “30 banner variations in five minutes” or “What if we flipped the story?”
It’s like having a creative partner who never runs out of ideas.
Attach a tag that reads: “For those moments when your brain needs a jump-start.”
4. Steady as You Film: Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer
If your team shoots on the go — TikToks, Reels, or case-study clips — this is the gift that keeps on (smoothly) giving.
No more shaky footage or “found footage” vibes.
It screams high production value without the Hollywood budget.
5. Escape to Innovate: Tickets to an Escape Room
Strategy meets storytelling, literally.
Escape rooms train the same muscles marketers use daily: collaboration, problem-solving, and creative thinking under pressure. They’re mini adventures that recharge teams and remind everyone that audiences crave experiences, not just ads.
Fun, energizing, and sneakily strategic.
6. Caffeine & Conversions
In marketing, coffee is fuel, ritual, and sometimes a survival strategy.
Upgrade their brew with boutique beans or a sleek new machine. It’s thoughtful, useful, and guaranteed to boost creative ROI.
Gift tag suggestion: “For those idea epiphanies and caffeine-powered click-throughs.”
7. Paper Meets Imagination: A Design-Led Notebook
Perfect for when inspiration strikes offline. Blank pages invite messy mind maps, sketches, and doodles that no software can replicate.
Simple. Elegant. Limitless.
8. Let There Be (Good) Light: Portable LED Ring Light
Because lighting should never be an afterthought.
Clip it to a phone or laptop for instantly polished video calls or mobile shoots.
Good light = less editing, more wow.
9. Silence the Noise: Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Every marketer needs deep-focus mode.
A great pair of headphones means fewer distractions and faster flow, the gift of creative quiet wrapped in sleek sound.
10. The Ultimate Luxe Gift
A plane ticket, or train ride, to anywhere! Because fresh perspectives spark the best campaigns. Travel fuels creativity, inspires storytelling, and broadens strategic thinking. Wink, wink, Vin— just joking, but if you happen to draw my name for Secret Santa, this would be my favorite gift.
