Don't keep it a secret: What do mechanical and design engineers want in their stockings this year? (Coal is not an option!)

As we approach the festive season, the Design and Engineering team at Endeavor Business Media is curious to know what's on your wish list for the ultimate holiday stockings. In the spirit of innovation and creativity, we invite you to share your top picks:

  • What engineering gadgets would make your season bright?
  • Any quirky tools or toys that would spark joy (or productivity)?
  • Feel free to let your imagination roam—what is your dream stocking stuffer?

Drop your ideas below and let's make this holiday memorable! Your input could inspire the perfect stocking surprises for your fellow engineers.

Editors will offer up gifts that are fun, practical and (mostly) affordable. These gift guides will be added to the list below as well as in our newsletters as the new gift guides show up.

Happy brainstorming!
