The 2025 WorkDaze Holiday Gift Guide
Happy holidays!

Hiiiii guys! Every year, we say we’re going to start our holiday shopping earlier, and every year, we fail.
So if you’re in the same boat as us and scrambling to get those last stocking stuffers, fear not! The 2025 WorkDaze Gift Guide is here to help you look like you totally had it together all along.
Today’s tunes: It’s the most beautiful time of the year to have Justin Bieber’s “Mistletoe” on repeat.

The 2025 WorkDaze Holiday Gift Guide

‘Tis the season for Secret Santa exchanges with the cousins you rarely talk to. Whether you’re unsure of what to get your work bestie or trying to surprise your mom with something special, our 2025 WorkDaze Gift Guide has something for everyone!
P.S. We’re trying our best to support small businesses and those who give back to the community, and we encourage you to, too!
Give Back
Rod’s recently partnered with The American Foundation For Suicide Prevention to help raise awareness and provide support to those who need a little extra help, especially around the holidays. Remember, there is always help. We’re all in this together. 🫶 |
Art
Art and wine and phone cases, oh my! Our BFF Laundry Room Studios, has something for everyone on your gift list. Dear Santa, we’ll take one of each please! |
Nothing’s better than having a nice little hobby other than sending your BFF way too many TikToks while scrolling the day away on your phone. Jenny Hart’s embroidery kits can help with that! |
Rod’s gotten some fun little prints from Simply Wall Art Design on Etsy, and they make the perfect gifts for your bestie’s go-to movie… or maybe for yourself, because self-love is the plot twist we all need. |
Kitchen
There’s just something about starting your day by making your own coffee… like, wow, look at you already accomplishing things before 9 am!! A Moka Pot brews rich, delicious espresso right at home, and the best part? Every MiiR product sold helps fund nonprofit organizations. |
Stationary
Treat yourself to a new, cute little notebook to write down all of your manifestations for the new year. Chicago’s Bon Femmes (everything they carry is from women-owned businesses) is a great place to browse with so many other fun goodies. |
Comfies
When founder Arielle Cole started taking SSRIs and got hit with those oh-so-chic night sweats (ugh!!), she decided enough was enough. Enter Arid Blayne: cooling, comfy sleepwear that keeps you dry so you can snooze comfortably. |
Self-Care
We’re loving these ayate washcloths from Volverde, a Latinx and women-owned store that sources all of its products from women, Asian, Black, Brown, and Indigenous-owned businesses. |
Dog Lovers
Fluff & Tuff’s dog toys are the perfect little stocking stuffies (literally) for your pup! Bonus points: they’re made in Michigan and ship worldwide! |
Good Boys Social Club’s merch is the perfect gift for your friend who treats their pup like a full-time personality trait (same). And if you’re in Southern California, definitely check out their meet-ups and events! |
We 🫶 Chicago!
Treat someone to a little sniff sesh at Aroma Workshop in Lincoln Park, Chicago, where they can create their own fragrance! Plus, everything’s vegan and cruelty-free. |
We 🫶 Detroit!
George Gregory smells better than any store has a right to, and also happens to have the most effortlessly chic men’s clothing and the best little gifts in town. Oh, and we’d be silly not to mention Phoebe, the sweetest little shop dog/sales associate! |

…while you do your last-minute shopping with our gift guide.

TBT to when we thought we were the coolest kids on the planet every time we ordered a Shirley Temple. Ashley Tassano brings us back to the good days with her festive Santa Shirley for the holidays!

The duo we never knew we needed! We’re obsessing over Variety’s Actors on Actors with Ariana Grande and Adam Sandler.

We can always count on Brianna West to find the words we never can. Check out her list of people you should thank this year. Because she’s probably right, you know.
Thanks so much for reading! We’re wrapping up this year and taking the next few weeks off to rest and recharge with the ones we love. See you next year!
—Rod and Gabi
