SECRET SANTA IN MARKETING LINK 2025

If you’ve ever played Secret Santa, then you know how fun it is to get gifts—and how hard it is to spend days guessing who your mysterious gift-giver was. So, we knew that feeling too—and decided to hold the event a little later. By the time everyone got together and the gifts arrived via Nova Poshta or Amazon Delivery, the secret was out in just a few days.

Here’s what we got: lots of honey, lots of creativity, and lots of warmth. If we tried to make a top gifts list, we’d probably all start arguing—so instead, we just wished each other happy holidays and went our separate ways: some to cook jellied meat, some to grate beets for “shuba,” and others to finish calculating the annual marketing budgets. Ho-ho!

We set a $10 gift limit so no one felt left out. Natasha recommended drawnames.com—and it was super handy and fun.

🎄✨ Hello, Marketing Link team! ❤️✨🎄

Let’s create a holiday vibe with a mystery gift exchange!

Here’s what to do:

Get the name of your surprise match.

Choose something nice and thoughtful for them—within the $10 budget.

(Shipping is on you 😉).

Make sure the gift is delivered around December 30, 2024. It’s so lovely to share warm, genuine holiday moments together.See you in the holiday mood! 🎅✨

Honey Gifts

So, a few awesome marketers got honey as a gift—because they create very sweet marketing strategies.

Just look at the drawing Natasha got with her tea. Want one like that? Then join the team—we’ll treat you. And not just with tea, if you know what we mean🙂

Dear Secret Santa🎅, thank you so much for the elegant gift🎁

It smells like flowers, tastes like honey—such refined tea—I’ve now had the tastiest tea ever❤️

Big thanks for the postcard with the South Park guy.

It was super nice and delicious—thank you❤️❄️

Vlad also got lucky with his gifts: he hit the jackpot with tea, an orange, and a white heart made of something very aromatic.

Now let’s talk about the honey desserts: Serhii got everything needed for a sweet treat—and he already prepared his spoon. You can see it in the corner of the last photo.

The honey journey didn’t stop there: Yulian received not just honey, but a whole handsome bull.

How Marketing Link played Secret Santa

My dear, respected, beloved, and totally secret Santa—thank you!
The bull will be my mascot and a reminder about deadlines, and I promise to use the proper honey daily in therapeutic doses.

Booze Gifts

Ivan got a bottle of wine. Santa didn’t know that Vanya doesn’t drink alcohol—but we can always suggest some wine sauce or kebab marinade recipes 😉

Alcoholic gifts for Secret Santa

I’ll join in and thank my Santa too 🙂 Dry, Portuguese—I guess I’ll have to decode it 😁❤️

Bright & Cheerful Gifts

Anya received a trendy gnome—a real hit in this year’s holiday decor.
The best part is that unlike other decorations, this fuzzy gnome can bring joy all year long.

I picked up my gift 🎄

Thank you, my Santa—it’s just amazing 💖

Everything is so pretty and stylish—I’m touched 🥺

I think my Santa is @Roman_Marketing_Link. 

At least, that was my first guess—because there was a gnome in the package. But now I’m not so sure.

Liza got an LED lamp—and we’re so happy she liked it.

I also want to thank my Secret Santa 🥰

The gift was spot on—I love everything that has to do with light.

I’ve wanted something like this for a while 🤩—and so many colors, love it!

Inspiring Gifts

Mykola received an apron for grilling—perfect for surprising guests with the phrase:
“Don’t Worry, I Can Do This, I Watched a Tutorial”. We can say that Mykola actually guessed who his Santa was.

Inspirational gifts

Yulia received lots and lots of magnets with inspiring quotes:
“Never give up on your dream”, “You are amazing”, and other motivational messages—now she’ll have them all year long and even more.

Got my magnets from Santa today 🤍 Now I get a little boost of inspiration every day. Thank you 🎄☃️

Creative Gifts

And finally—we saved the creative gifts for last. The Romans got the most artistic presents.
We were absolutely amazed—and maybe just a little jealous.

Creative gifts for marketers

As usual, I’m one of the last ones. Thank you,🎅 Santa, for such a creative gift—I’ll enjoy my tea and hot chocolate from my personal mug😄

Now, let’s talk about our Mr. Olympia—the one and only Roman Illyushko. We hope this poster will inspire you toward new athletic achievements.

Thank you, Secret Santa! 😂

Big thanks to the team for an incredibly fun experience—a journey full of great gifts, smiles, and warm wishes. Even though distance and time may separate us, we’re still a team that inspires, supports, and makes every day in the world of marketing a little brighter.
