Good morning, Marketer, what do you get for the marketer who has everything?

Have you finished your holiday shopping yet? Have you even started it? (Writer whistles nervously.) Well, we’re here to help with part of it. Shama Hyder’s got a list of gifts marketers actually want — and you better believe she’s checked it twice. There’s something for everyone, including the workaholic, the WFH-er and even the trade show junkie.

On an unrelated note, some of you may have had trouble with the Salary and Career survey link in yesterday’s newsletter, here it is again. Also, if you haven’t had a chance to do so, please take the survey — it’s brief and painless and would help us a lot.
