Many working relationships consist of polite small talk and brief emails, leaving some workers struggling to find a gift for someone when the only thing they know about them is their first name and the department they work in. Never fear, our list of gifts is applicable to everyone, from your surly manager to the colleague you barely know.
Travel Coffee Mug
Keep your co-worker caffeinated with a travel coffee mug. Most office workers enjoy a pick-me-up in the morning, so it’s pretty likely your colleague will appreciate a cup that keeps their drink hot without burning their hands. You can get your hands on a pretty decent one for under $20.
Desk Cable Clip
If your colleague’s desk is overflowing with cables from all their tech gear and gadgets, a desk cable clip is great little gift. This handy little tool simply clips to the edge of a desk, ready to keep together multiple cables tangle-free and within easy reach. You’ll be able to find one for under $10.
USB Desk Fan
If the air conditioning in your office is lack lustre, a USB desk fan is the perfect gift for this hot summer. Simply plug it into your computer and you’re ready to go. A quick Google search brings some up for under $15.
Desk Plant
Everyone loves some oxygen in the office. Deliver it straight to them with a small desk plant. Go for something easy to maintain like a cactus or succulent. You can get your hands on a little one from Bunnings for under $20.
2017 Wall Calendar
Keeping things practical, why not get your colleague a wall calendar for 2017. You could even get a themed calendar if you happen to have the slightest inclination of what their interests are. You can find one for between $10-$20.
Alcohol
If all else fails, opt for alcohol. Everyone’s happy to receive a free bottle of wine or a 6 pack of beer and if not, at least they can use it for a party or re-gift it to someone else they’re stumped with gift ideas for.
