Nothing says ‘last minute dot com’ like a Starbucks gift card. If you need some gift ideas for coworkers, take a look at our inspired list of options.
Out of al the people you have to pick out a gift for these holidays, your coworkers are probably the easiest. You probably spend more time with these guys than you do your own family.
You’re close. You’re a team. They’re the ones who cover for you when you’re late back from lunch. They’re the ones who’ll not just listen to your gripes about upper management, but actually get where you’re coming from.
Even you’re lucky enough to work for one of those sought-after companies where organic fair trade espresso is on tap, paid vacation is unlimited and the snack cupboard is always full, your teammates still deserve a truly epic gift.
Choosing the Perfect Gift for Your Coworkers
Of course, some coworkers will be easier to buy for than others. You know your cubicle mates better than you know your own mom, but what about the rest of the water cooler gang?
You like them, but you’re not exactly buddies. You definitely don’t talk all the time. Figuring out how to choose the perfect gift for someone like that will be almost impossible if you hit the mall cold.
You need to do some detective work before you go shopping for coworker gifts. Ask a few simple questions, and you’ll be able to pick out the perfect gift in no time:
- What do they enjoy doing?
- What’s on their desk?
- Is there something they really need?
