35 Best Gift Ideas for Coworkers That Aren't Coffee Mugs
Think about it: You spend a lot of time with your colleagues. You might even spend more time with them than your spouse or family. Crazy, right? Enter: this list of the best gift ideas for coworkers. While you don't have to break the bank on a gift for a colleague, it can be nice to show your appreciation once in a while for all the work they do every day.
Here, we've rounded up the very best ideas out there, from kitschy, funny gifts to truly meaningful ones, and everything in between. Whether your work wife's birthday is coming up, your cube mate just got a promotion, your desk buddy needs some cheering up, or you need a Christmas gift for your boss, these gifts for coworkers are sure to fit the bill. Bourbon-infused coffee is just unique enough to be interesting without crossing a line, while a simple Starbucks gift card is a classic, tried-and-true option. Striking that perfect balance between "personal" and "not-too-personal," each of these is a winning gift in every sense of the word.
Oh, and did we mention these coworker presents are incredibly affordable too? They also ship fast—just in case you're on the hunt for a last-minute gift. What could be better?
