I got a lot of requests from readers to put together a holiday gift guide for what to buy your co-worker. It seems to be so hard to find easy office Christmas gifts for a few reasons, one being that you don’t want to spend too much money, and another being that it’s hard to know what is appropriate to give them. It’s also difficult to know what they would want, regardless of the fact that you probably spend most of your life surrounded by these people. I’ve come up with some fun/practical/kind of funny gifts you could give your office buds, depending on how well you know them and what their personality is.
When in doubt, a nice candle is always a good idea. I know it seems a bit generic and impersonal, but once you smell these Capri Blue candles you will change your mind. I love a pretty candle sitting on top of this quartz “cheese board” if you need something a bit more special or are wanting to give something more impressive.
Office Group Gift
Sometimes it’s best to go in on a gift with other people, maybe for your boss or favorite co-worker. I’ve had my eye on this coffee cup for a while–it keeps your cup warm and let’s you control the temperature. Think about how many times you don’t get to finish a cup of coffee and have to reheat it several times. This way, you can reheat it at your desk!
Another great idea would be a special Christmas ornament. It’s personal enough without being too risky, and there are so many great ones out this year. Another idea for a female co-worker is a tote bag that would fit all of her work things. Who can ever have too many tote bags?
The Gift That Keeps On Giving
This one speaks for itself. It’s a great price point, and everyone will appreciate having it on hand, especially in a setting where you all share a bathroom!
