The Hidden Path Creative 2025 Gift Wishlist
A curated guide to small businesses I’ve had the pleasure of designing with this year
If you're anything like me, holiday shopping usually starts with good intentions...and ends with a last-minute panic scroll. But this year? I'm keeping things easy (and beautiful) by shopping from my clients.
I've had the privilege of working on some incredible brand and packaging design projects in 2025, many of which are now sitting pretty on shelves and ready for gifting. So, I thought: why not turn my client roster into the ultimate wishlist?
Whether you’re shopping for your skincare-obsessed sister, your jewelry-loving BFF, the golfer in your life, or your own creative side, there’s something thoughtful, design-forward, and small-business-powered on this list for you.

Why This List Matters
These aren’t just cute gifts (though, yes—they are very cute). They’re products from founders who care deeply about what they put into the world. I’ve had a front-row seat to the strategy, the storytelling, the endless rounds of color-matching, compliance checking, and copywriting.
Every package here has been thoughtfully designed to elevate not just the product inside, but the entire brand. And that’s why I’m proud to gift—and recommend—these client creations.
If you grab something from this list, I’d love to see it. Tag me on Instagram @hiddenpathcreative, or shoot me a DM to let me know what’s wrapping up under your tree.
