Christmas is the time of year for giving and showing people what they mean to you. It’s no different for co-workers. Most workplaces will organise a Secret Santa draw to ensure that everyone gets a present and everyone gets to give one too. Here are some of the best gifts to get your co-workers that they will actually love.
Bringing lunch to work is a great way to save money and maintain a healthy diet. Some of us may be organised and prep-lunch in advance, while most of us will more than likely forget. However, getting your co-workers a set of nice re-usable lunch boxes is actually an incredibly underrated gift. You can spend as little or as much as you need to, depending on what the agreed budget is. You can get a basic set or a cool, fancier one. The person who gets the gift is guaranteed to love the boxes and will definitely use them.
2. Adult Colouring Books
Honestly, don’t knock it till you try it! Colouring is such an underrated hobby and de-stressor for even the most serious people among us. Colouring books are now widely available with an array of themes and topics. Some books have intricate patterns for more patient people while others can be larger images. They’re usually quite affordable so it can be a great present to get with another item if you have a larger budget.
3. Plants
Who doesn’t love plants? They’re both lovely to look at and will help with mental health and stress levels. Some people have green fingers and love to look after plants. For these people, high-dependency plants such as flowers are ideal. However, others may struggle. For those that may not always remember to water the plants, succulents or cacti are perfect. These plants don’t need constant attention or water.
4. Back Support
If you work in a busy office with long hours, your co-worker will thank you for this gift. Sitting in a chair can do no favours for your posture. Back supports such as cushions can prevent or correct any back problems that may come as a result of sitting in the same position all day. This gift is universally wonderful. It may not be something that anyone may buy themselves, but it will be a game-changer to get it.
5. Dry Erase Sheet
Most of us will have notes upon notes upon notes scattered on our desk. Most of which are probably irrelevant by the time we get back around to read them. For the co-worker that always has a messy desk filled with scraps of paper, dry erase sheets are the perfect solution. The concept is just like a whiteboard but come in thinner, more flexible sheets. They are perfect for meetings or for motivational quotes. As well as this, they’re great for rough notes and things to remember. Simply write on it and wipe it off. It’s an excellent solution to a messy desk and a way to save paper.
