Gifts

One of the realities of working in ecomm/DTC is that you’re likely to end up too busy to buy at least one gift in time.

This year, our team did a secret gift exchange¹ and, in true industry fashion, didn’t start talking gift ideas until three days before our exchange. But once the ideas started rolling, they really started rolling.

And maybe, if you’re as late on at least one gift as some of us are, it may come in handy. So, here’s the full list for you, along with a quick description of the brand.
