Here are our Gifts for Coworkers Gift Guide:

---

1. Give their laptop a splash of personalization with their favorite color. 

Consider decking out your coworker’s laptop with this set if they’re really obvious about their favorite color! It comes with an exterior hard shell cover, a silicone keyboard cover, and even a screen protector for added durability. It comes in over 40 color options and is compatible with MacBook Pro 13-inch laptops.

2. This trendy tumbler makes a great Secret Santa gift exchange idea and could be paired with a gift card too. 

Whether they’re commuting to an office or working virtually, any coworker will appreciate this trendy tumbler if they love the look of Stanley. It fits 40 ounces of their favorite drinks and it’s easy to carry around. Of course, you could splurge on the real Stanley if your budget is flexible, but we love this affordable option from Walmart which performs just as well if not better! If you’re gifting this to a coworker as a Secret Santa gift exchange, you could even elevate the wow factor by adding a Starbucks gift card too.

3. The person who’s always finding solutions in the workplace deserves this title on their desk. 

There’s always that one person in the workplace who is the solution-finder or literal fixer of all the things! While this could definitely be a funny gag gift, it’s still a compliment we think any coworker worthy of the title will love displaying on their desk.

---

4. Grab these webcam covers for those coworkers who are always sticking tape on their laptops. 

You could potentially break these cam covers up into 5 separate gifts and would be perfect if you’re planning to do a few gift baskets for your coworkers. Since you’ll get 5 in a pack, you’ll pay just a few bucks each and they’re a fun and practical way to brighten someone’s day. Plus, the end doubles as a screen duster too!

---

5. A personalized cable holder is the perfect sophisticated gift for a coworker who’s always on the go.

Even the coworkers who appear to have it all will appreciate this thoughtful gift idea! It’s minimal but is super practical and sleek for even the most stylish people in the company. We love that it can easily be personalized with up to 6 letters and you can choose between 7 different neutral vegan leather colors.

---

6. This handheld frother is versatile and something they can keep in the office too. 

A handheld frother makes it easy to whip up your favorite drinks. Whether your coworker loves a frothy latte in the mornings or if they like to put collagen in their drinks, this handy tool will froth it up or mix anything in seconds! It’s so affordable at under $6 that you could even pair it with some coffee beans and a mug or their favorite tub of collagen!

---

7. Keep their coffee hot all morning long so their mornings have zero interruptions.

Speaking of coffee, a mug warmer is a genius idea for any coworker who often finds themself at the microwave. The Mr. Coffee mug warmer is currently under $20 and will warm their coffee in under 2 minutes keeping their workflow on point every morning.

Want to gift something even more boujee to your coworker?

Consider a highly-rated Ember Mug to splurge on. (Although, currently on sale for Black Friday!) This mug and heating pad is wireless, can be controlled with a smartphone, has an 80-minute battery life, and is as sleek as ever.

8. You can never go wrong with a new candle they can refill over and over. 

Candles always make excellent gifts and it’s something that will make teachers feel warm and cozy on days they’re not in the classroom. Coworkers will love taking one of these festive candles home during the holiday break and they have many fun and festive scents like Holiday Hustle, Santa’s Sleigh, and Baking Spirits Bright just to name a few. 🤩

These Walmart Better Homes & Gardens jar candles are another candle idea we love! The sticker on the front is easily removable and the glass jar complete with a wooden lid is something they’ll want to refill over and over!

---

9. This lap desk is super affordable and travel-friendly. 

Someone doesn’t understand the genius invention of a lap desk until you’ve had their own. I personally own this lap desk and toted it to and from the pool all summer to work virtually so I can attest to the quality. It has two cushions so it’s comfortable to have on your lap and its handle makes it easy to tote. As a bonus, it has a ledge and 8 adjustable positions making it perfect for books too!

Score a two-pack of these lap desks for under $16 – that’s just $7.74 per coworker! 😱

10. Gift them a mini vacuum cleaner that doubles as a desktop and a keyboard cleaner. 

This mini portable desktop vacuum cleaner is likely something your coworkers will never think of on their own but will LOVE having! It comes with a small brush and a miniature nozzle to clean in the hardest-to-reach places like their keyboard. Plus, it features a strong suction so they can even use it for pencil shavings and debris from their excessive erassing.

---

11. Save the sticky notes and grab this stylish reusable board. 

That coworker who is always using sticky notes NEEDS this cute acrylic desktop sign! It’s endlessly reusable and comes with personalization to add their name or anything else you think it should say! It’s a minimal and stylish piece we know they’ll love looking at and using on a daily basis!

Think they’ll love a solid color more? We found a similar dry erase board to fit their minimalist aesthetic or a “goal” dry erase board if they’re very goal oriented.

---

12. Gift cards are gifts for coworkers that anyone will always appreciate. 

Let’s be honest, sometimes the best gifts for coworkers are a good ol’ gift card! Sometimes, gifts for coworkers don’t need to be super personal and a gift card is something they’ll really love using. We love the idea of a Starbucks gift card so they can treat themselves before work!

Shopping for more coworkers? You can also score a pack of 3, $10 gift card for $28.98 or a pack of 10, $5 gift cards for $48.98.

13. Make your coworker laugh with this novelty self-stamper. 

This novelty stamp will be such a funny joke to gift a coworker! They could even potentially use it on sticky notes to play jokes from time to time if the workplace is appropriate. Either way, it’s something we think they’ll love using even if it’s just at home.

---

14. These magnetic balls are addicting to play with and perfect for the fidgety coworker. 

Speks are fun to play with and something we know every fidgety coworker will appreciate. Ever notice them talking on the phone and playing with a pencil? This will be the perfect innovative replacement and will keep their hands busy on the longest of calls. We personally own these and love them and shared 10 reasons they’d make a great gift for any adult!

Looking for a more affordable fidget? Consider this Speks-inspired putty for under $20 on Amazon!
