FemFounder is seeking high-end home office products for a founder gift guide

We're building FemFounder's holiday gift guide for the high-end home office and looking for standout pieces: unique task lighting, leather desk objects, fine writing instruments, design-led tech, and luxury desk accessories. Think pieces a founder would choose for herself, not office supplies.

Ideal price range $150 to $1000+, with room for one or two anchor pieces above that. Woman-owned and independent brands especially welcome.

Please include: product name, current price, a shopping link, and high-res images. We generally require samples to see quality and craftsmanship for consideration; a sample doesn't guarantee inclusion, and inclusion is editorial and never paid.

Publishing in early November; responses needed by August 20, 2026.

Build a Holiday Creator Affiliate Program in 90 Days

Holiday planning is already in full gear, and the pressure is on for ecommerce brands to generate demand.

Creator affiliate marketing can help by connecting more of your marketing spend to measurable performance. But creators are already locking in their holiday content calendars 90 days out, and brands who wait too long lose the runway they need to build momentum before the holidays.

The 90-Day Holiday Sprint is a practical guide from Levanta that breaks down building a creator affiliate program with checkpoints at Day 30, Day 60, and Day 90, so your program is live and capturing holiday demand instead of scrambling to catch up.

Inside, you’ll find how to:

  • Establish the right products and commission structure

  • Recruit and activate creator partners

  • Use early results to optimize the program

  • Scale proven partnerships during the holidays
