The 13 Best Gifts to Give Your Coworkers This Holiday Season




The holidays can be an incredibly stressful time. Not only do you have to decorate your house and attend any number of parties, you also have to pick out the perfect gift for your girlfriend, family, friends and coworkers. The last of those can often be the most difficult. After all, you know your partner, friends and family on a personal level, but if you don’t hang out with your coworkers, the office gift exchange can be like stepping into a minefield. 

There are a few things to remember when picking out gifts for your coworkers. First, keep it cheap. Hopefully, there is a price limit you can use as a guide. Either way, spending too much on an office gift can lead to awkward situations if everyone else went with really affordable gifts.

Second, make the gift as personal as possible. If you know your coworker well, you can pick a gift that corresponds to their likes or hobbies. If you don’t, make the gift as useful as possible in the office environment. Think office supplies or desk games.

Below you’ll find 13 of the best gifts for coworkers in 2019. Buy your work friends or even your work spouse one of these gifts, and they won’t have to react nicely to a gift they don’t like.
