THINGS WE'VE BEEN LOVING this year (so far)

Written by Alyssa Shanty | Feb 19, 2026 7:31:03 PM

Somewhere between the coffee refills, creative brainstorms, and way too many Teams chats, a few things have risen to the top this year. You know the ones... the products, ideas, and little moments that make work feel a little more fun. So we rounded up what’s been on heavy rotation around here lately. From things we’re gifting to things we’re obsessing over, here’s what we’ve been loving this year (so far). 

APPAREL WE'RE REACHING FOR

Starting off strong with the Charles River Willow Mock-Neck Sweatshirt. We've all seen the viral PARKE mock necks and probably also watched the drops sell out in seconds (while quietly wondering why you suddenly want a $130 sweatshirt with someone else's last name on it). The good news??? The Charles River Willow Mock-Neck gives you that same trendy look without the chaos. Even better, it's fully customizable, so you can put your own brand front and center. And don't worry, we can handle the details so your logo looks intentional and right at home on this piece.

Speaking of trendy (but also a staple) The Women's Sherpa Fleece Jacket is the kind of layer that lives on the back of your chair, gets thrown on for coffee runs with your bestie, and elevates every cozy fit. This is one of those pieces people keep wearing after the gifting moment is over, especially when it's finished with a clean, minimal logo. Oh, did we mention Free People DUPE!

Another effortless layering piece, the Men's Jameo Vest. It's the layer that you reach for when you want that effortless, put together without trying vibe. Throw it over a tee, hoodie, or button-down and you're set. Add your logo and design this fully custom vest however you'd like and it will turn into an everyday brand moment.

TRAVEL OBSESSIONS

Picture this: Walking to the beach, The Castaway Straw Tote on your shoulder, not a cloud in the sky, life is good. It's the type of bag that fits all of your beach essentials and somehow always fits more than expected.

Another one of our favs? The Stoney Clover Small Pouch filled with a few of our go-to essentials, like spray hand sanitizer and a Tide To Go pen. All of these picks are small but way more useful than you'd expect.

IN OUR COZY ERA (ALWAYS)


The Coastal Throw Blanket is that perfect "I deserve this" layer. We're sure you've seen the Barefoot Dreams Blanket, and yes, it's iconic, but this one delivers that same cloud-level coziness. Even better, it features a subtle patch where you can have your logo embossed; lowkey and effortlessly branded. Now that's good merch. Pair it with the Drowsy Silk Sleep Eye Mask for the ultimate reset. Whether it's a power nap or a weekend sleep-in, this mask blocks out the world so you can catch those Z's.

MOMENTS THAT STICK

We can't talk about our favorite things without the Oura Ring Experience. It's an interactive moment where attendees can try on Oura's sleek smart ring, discover their size, and learn more about personalized health insights like sleep, readiness, and daily activity metrics. What makes it truly memorable? It turns wearable tech into a hands-on experience people will want to try.

And finally, The Leather Lab. This activation turns anything from notebooks to desk organizers into a memorable, hands-on experience. Guests can personalize their own leather goods with custom embossing right on-site, creating a premium keepsake that doubles as a subtle brand moment. The station is easy to set up, scalable for any event size, and perfect for tradeshows, conferences, or internal employee engagement experiences. Nothing says thoughtful like giving people something they want to keep.

These are just a few things we have been loving so far this year, it's really about the details that stick and the moments your team will actually remember.
