2025 Mystery Maker Gift Exchange

Hey makers! It’s time to spread a little creativity and holiday cheer around the studio :sparkles:

We’re hosting a Mystery Maker Gift Exchange open to all seven shops — Ceramics, Electronics, Laser, Wood, Metal, 3D Printing, and Textiles!

You can choose to:
:hammer_and_wrench: Exchange gifts within your home shop
:globe_showing_americas: Or mix it up and participate across all shops (or even both!)

Gift Guidelines:

  • Handmade or maker-inspired

  • $25–$30 value

  • Drop off by December 1st at the studio’s Gift Exchange Table

  • Optional exchange social on December 3rd — come hang out and swap gifts!

To join, fill out the quick form below :backhand_index_pointing_down:
:backhand_index_pointing_right:Mystery Maker Gift Exchange Sign Up

When filling it out, share your general likes and themes — but remember, part of the fun is receiving something from a maker in a different shop! Be open, flexible, and celebrate each other’s craftsmanship.

Let’s make this a season full of creativity, kindness, and community. :dizzy:

:wrapped_gift: Hey Makers! :wrapped_gift:
Just giving this a little boost in case anyone missed it the first time — our Mystery Maker Holiday Exchange (aka maker-style Secret Santa) is happening soon! :sparkles:

It’s a fun way to share a bit of your creativity, connect with other makers, and spread some holiday cheer. We’ve got a great group already signed up, but there’s still room for more!

If we are planning on being at the event on Dec 3rd, do we still need to drop off our gift in the MPR or can we bring it with us?

Great question! If you are attending you are welcome to bring your gift with you!

Assignments have officially gone out!!
Thank you to everyone who signed up!

I’ve reopened and updated the signup form to allow for a few late entries. Please note that match options may be more limited for those joining now, and specific shop-to-shop requests may not always be available — but we absolutely welcome additional participation!

Jump in if you’d still like to join the fun! :wrapped_gift::sparkles:

@Iammikecohen I have your gift to give you! I can’t DM you since my trust level is still pretty low on here, but I can leave it in the shop somewhere!

Apologies all! I meant to follow up Thursday with my mystery makers. My husband was in an accident at work Thursday morning and we have been in the hospital since.

I promise to follow up with everyone as soon as I have a few minutes. I am so thankful to all who participated and my sincerest apologies for disappearing and not finalizing everything

@cgeorgoulis I’m so sorry to hear your husband was injured. I’m praying for his complete recovery and peace & comfort to you too.
