Every year around this time, we roll up our sleeves, grab a fresh latte, and gather the best Black Friday and Cyber Week deals we can find for our creative community. And while we love a good software discount as much as the next strategy-obsessed entrepreneur . . . this year, we’re doing things a little differently.
Instead of sending you into a sea of affiliate links and tech sales, we’re sharing the things our team actually uses, loves, and can’t stop talking about. Think: the planners that keep our brains organized, the coffee gear that keeps us awake and moving through our days, the office supplies that spark joy (yes, pens can be life-changing), and the books that have shaped our leadership, creativity, and faith this year. We’ll still sprinkle in a few tech deals important to our clients too, but we hope this list feels more practical and even a little fun.
So if you’re ready to shop intentionally, refresh your workspace for the new year, or grab a few meaningful gifts along the way, keep reading! Our team rounded up the goodies we personally swear by—just in time for some of the biggest sales of the year.
Here we go! ☕️💻💖

As we look back on 2025, we feel honored to partner with those who trusted us and proud of the work we completed together.
This past year stretched us, sharpened us, and reminded us why we do what we do. Every project, whether large or small, carried weight because it was connected to someone’s calling, message, or mission. What we built together mattered.
Here is a quick look at the categories of work that shaped our year and the outcomes we’re most grateful for.
Choosing which website host to use can be difficult. Many factors go into the decision making process, such as price, performance, and security, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed.
A quality hosting plan is necessary for any successful online presence. But there are many web host companies to choose from.
In this post, we will cover the most common types of WordPress website hosting, explain what the technical terms actually mean, and highlight which factors truly matter for keeping your website healthy and secure.
Some time ago, our dear friend Jennifer Hand shared with us that she had a message on her heart—the idea for a book to help others heal from trauma. Her vision was a tool for anyone who has experienced trauma, and also for those walking alongside them in recovery.
After a challenging experience with a traditional publisher for a previous release, Jenn really wanted to have a more hands-on part in bringing this new book, Hope Beneath the Rubble, to life.
We have had the pleasure of working with Lisa Allen for many years, through website and brand redesigns, ongoing tech and social media support, and more. A well-known confidence coach and seasoned speaker, Lisa reached out to Market Refined Publishing this time with a clear message and a big mission: to help women ditch self-doubt and lead with purpose. Her new book, Your Confidence Compass: From Self-Doubt to Self-Leadership, is a signature piece of that mission—and she needed a publishing partner who could help bring every layer of it to life.
The “deal overwhelm” gets worse and worse each year, especially since “Black Friday” has become more of a month than a day! There are SO many great deals to choose from, but it can be tough to know exactly where to look or which one has the best savings. We’ve got you!
Whether you are a writer, speaker, blogger, developer, or just a tech junkie, we’ve found great deals and steals for everyone!
We’ll even note some of our favorites for you as we go! Happy Shopping!
Previous Market Refined Publishing author Ryan Donald partnered with local firefighter Gina Thompson on a mission to teach fire safety to children in their area. The result was an incredibly fun and kid-friendly teaching resource that doubles as a coloring book, showcasing the well-known and ever lovable Chief Flame the Arson Cat.
When Ryan reached out to our team, the content of the book was mostly complete, but he and Gina needed help bringing creating a print-ready version of their vision. This project was definitely a break from our norm, as was Ryan’s previous book Letters to Dogs, and it was super fun flexing our creative muscles again for this one.
