Ricaso Picks of 2025

 Our Favorite Products of 2025 – A Year of Heart, Hustle & Holiday Magic

This year has been one of our toughest but most creative yet, and as we look back on 2025, we can’t help but feel proud of the work that went into every single item we released. Our picks aren’t just products—they’re little pieces of our imagination brought to life, shaped by countless hours of thought, love, and late-night inspiration.

We spent many evenings working long after the rest of the world fell asleep. Those quiet hours—when the world is still and creativity feels its strongest—are when some of our favorite designs were born. There’s something magical about working when all you can hear is your own mind humming with possibilities.

Some mornings we woke up with brand-new ideas before our coffee even had a chance to brew. The kind of ideas that make you say, “This one… this one’s special.” We chased those moments, scribbling notes on whatever we could find, knowing that if we didn’t capture them instantly, they’d disappear like glitter in the wind.

Throughout the year, we pushed ourselves to refine every detail—textures, colors, patterns, messages, finishes—until each item felt just right. It’s never about rushing something out the door; it’s about crafting something we’d be proud to give our own families.

When we think about what made these items stand out, it wasn’t just style or trends. It was the heart behind them. The laughter shared during brainstorming sessions, the heated debates over tiny details, the “aha!” moments that made the team light up at once.

We also listened to you—your stories, your feedback, your ideas. Your traditions, your families, your celebrations inspired us more than you know. Some of our favorite pieces exist because someone reached out and said, “Hi, do you have…?” And from there, a spark became a creation.

There were nights when we worked until the sun started to rise, determined to get something perfect before calling it a day. Those long hours, fueled by passion (and maybe too many snacks), shaped some of the items we’re most proud of this year.

Looking at this list, what stands out most is the joy behind it. The joy of imagining how these items might become part of your celebrations—whether they were hung, worn, wrapped, displayed, gifted, or cherished. Knowing something we made could become part of your memories is what motivates us every single day.

2025 has been a year of growth, creativity, and endless inspiration. We poured everything we had into our work, and we hope that when you see them, you feel the love and intention behind every detail. They’re more than products—they're snapshots of our passion.

And as we wrap up the year, we’re already dreaming up the next round of ideas… because that’s just who we are. We create, we tinker, we imagine, and we can’t wait to bring even more magic to your home in 2026.

This year hasn’t been easy. The economy has hit small businesses hard—ours included. Costs have risen, supplies fluctuate, and every decision feels heavier than it used to. But through all of it, we’ve stayed committed to creating things that mean something, even if they aren’t life-or-death essentials. In times like these, people cling to meaning more than ever, and that’s where our work still feels important.

We know our products aren’t the necessities that keep the world running—but they’re the little things that keep hearts connected. A personalized “we love you,” a “we care about you,” a “you’re important to us”—those small messages have power. They soothe, they comfort, they make someone feel seen. And in a world that often feels uncertain, those moments matter more than anyone realizes.

Every customized gift tells a story: a memory shared, a relationship cherished, a celebration honored. Even when budgets are tight, people still want to give something thoughtful—something that feels personal instead of generic.

And we’re humbled that so many choose our creations as the message-bearers of their love. It means everything to us.

So while the economy pushes and pulls, we’ll keep doing what we’ve always done: creating meaningful pieces, crafted with care, built to make someone smile. Because even in hard times, a little joy, a little humor, a little love wrapped into a gift… that’s something worth holding onto.

Wishing you a warm and joyful Holiday Season! May your December be filled with cozy moments, good memories, and the people who make life brighter. Whether you’re celebrating big or keeping it simple this year, we hope your days feel merry, meaningful, and full of small joys that last well beyond the holidays.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and our very best wishes for an incredible 2026. May the new year bring you peace, good health, creativity, and moments worth celebrating. Thank you for being part of our journey—here’s to a wonderful year ahead!  Ricaso.
