After reading our blog post, “The Unspoken Rules of Holiday Gift Giving in the Workplace,” you did your due diligence and looked into whether or not your company culture supports holiday gift exchange.
Now that you have decided that your affinity for your coworkers is enough for you to dish out some dough and buy some gifts, what do you get? Don’t forget, these gifts still need to be ‘workplace appropriate’.
Since choosing the right gift can be a little tricky, we thought we’d save you some headache and give you some ideas on what to get your coworkers this holiday season. Below are some ideas that won’t break the bank.
Nordic Spruce Handmade Scented Natural Soy Candle
This natural soy candle by Nordic Fox captures the spirit of the outdoors with a scent inspired by spruce trees in the Nordic mountains. The light and crisp aroma with notes of cedarwood and pine is neither too masculine nor too feminine, thus making it a good option for your holiday gifting. For $9 you can purchase a 4oz tin, but if you really like your coworkers, go head and splurge for the 8oz jar which retails for $18.

A great gift for both male a female coworkers, these TIJN blue light blocking glasses found on Amazon are a perfect for anyone who relies on heavy computer work to make a living. With these glasses you can give your coworker the gift of less eye strain for only $16.99.
Oh, The Meetings You’ll Go To!: A Parody
Another great gift for male and female coworkers is this written parody Oh, The Meetings You’ll Go To! It’s a parody on Dr. Seuss’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go! This book is brutally honest, and an ultimately uplifting take on the struggles of post-grad life that the over 20-something professional can relate to. $11.83 will get you a hardcover copy of this entertaining read.
