For the second year, PRINT asked some of the most creative people we know what they are excited to give (and get) this year. Look for daily gift inspiration*, now through the holidays.

The Collected Works
Not only does The Collected Works team have great taste in gifts (see below!), but they have also been the PRINT Awards brand design team for the past three years. The wildly talented TCW team works with us to bring our annual PRINT Awards theme to life each year. For 2025, TCW ran with the concept of biophilia—the innate human tendency to seek connections with nature—a philosophy that resonates throughout the creative community as we consider the interconnectedness of people, nature, and the world around us. Look for a larger profile and brand case study in the new year.
Without further ado … gifts!
“When we sat down to talk about some of the gifts we’re excited about, a pattern started to emerge—things that make us smile, feel a little unexpected, or bring something special to everyday life. It wasn’t about being over the top (well, okay, except for maybe the baguette bag) but about those little moments of joy you get from something that’s just a bit different. Whether it’s something playful for your home, a piece that feels both fun and useful, or something that just adds a spark of personality, these are the kinds of gifts we’d love to give (or get!). We hope you find them as delightful as we do.”
