‘Tis the season of gift-giving, and if you were out shopping on Black Friday, and are raiding the Cyber Monday sales today, chances are you’re wondering what to get your co-workers for the holidays. Most offices will do a Yankee swap style gift-exchange, while others will leave their employees to decide what is the most appropriate gift to give co-workers, colleagues and managers.
I’ve looked around for inspiration, and here are a few resources you can use to get something appropriate, yet inexpensive, to your co-workers or boss:
- The Wall St Cheat Sheet has a list of 20 of the best holiday gifts for your co-workers;
- BusinessWeek curated a nice selection of last minute gifts for your office colleagues;
- The Huffington Post Canada has some pretty innovative Christmas gift ideas for Secret Santa at work;
- And if you happen to be in doubt, WSTP has a list of the worst 8 office Christmas gifts ever;
- Last but not least, Business Insider has 18 perfect gifts to offer your favorite young professional guy!
My $0.05: As a rule of thumb, I’d advise getting gifts up to a value of $25 each to keep these reasonable and conflict of interest free, not to mention non-taxable to the recipient. And always, always keep it tasteful! If you can’t give it to your boss, you can’t give it to anyone in the office.What are you planning to offer your co-workers this holiday season?
