Coworker gift ideas

[maxiesmom]

For those of you who give gifts to your coworkers, what do you give that is affordable, and works for both men and women? I struggle with this every year. This year I have 12 coworkers I feel I need to give a little something to. Ideas please!!!!!

For those of you who give gifts to your coworkers, what do you give that is affordable, and works for both men and women? I struggle with this every year. This year I have 12 coworkers I feel I need to give a little something to. Ideas please!!!!!

Here are some of the things I've given to my co-workers in the past (all women, BTW):

Jewelry: earrings, bracelets or necklaces - either I have made or bought at different fairs and stores (I try to keep it under $10 as I have 7 co-workers)
Scarves
Yankee candles
Home made cookies along with an ornament
Home made cookies along with a $10 Dunkin Donuts gift card

This year:
My crew loves my home made cookies as I make quite the assortment at Christmas time. So this year, I'm planning to give each of them cookies again and I'm actually crocheting hats and scarves so each will get the cookies with a hat or cookies with a scarf.

The only male I actually buy for at work is my Executive who I've been working with for over 18 years (he's a millionaire who needs nothing) so in the beginning years I would make myself nuts trying to figure out what to buy him. One year I decided to bake for him and his family and they loved the cookies so much that they now look forward to them every year. I literally bake 1 dz./9 different variety of cookies - it's an insane amount of cookies but at least I know they're appreciated!

Hope this helps...

Another idea is chocolate, like Godiva. They have great Black Friday deals on different chocolate treats too.

Or if they like coffee, a Starbucks gift card. It is nice to get a gift card for a few coffees.

I usually do Amazon gift cards with some type of treat.

When I need group type gifts I generally take a peek at QVC. They have many things that you can use for gifts that come in sets.
For instance, insulated totes with the gift boxes. Approx 6/$30. So your talking about $5. A gift, Crazy good! I think they are by
California innovations. Ive also bought Individualy wrapped Mrs Prindables .. decadent chocolate/nut Apples. They come in many different options. They are sooo yummy!
I’ve purchased from qvc for many years. Great customer service and quite competitive pricing. Good luck and happy holidays!

The group I need to buy for are all ladies, but I ordered little hand lotion sets from Avon. It was $5 for 3 little tubes of Skin So Soft lotion.

My favorite was a small Swiss Army knife but buying 12 of those would be expensive. My sister made a variety of Christmas cookies last year and got some tiny bottles of spirits from the abc store. That was a hit.

This year I am making homemade vanilla. 3.5(ish) oz either Tito’s vodka OR a super high quality bourbon (I bought both) One vanilla bean split and scraped, in a swing top jar. Cool sticker sign from our family. Our friends are huge into food and booze. Started it today after getting the stuff from Costco, and I’ll let it “Marinate” for a few weeks first.

Mason jars filled with candy, or hot chocolate mix - decorate with some Christmas ribbon and a name tag.

Pop corn tins, I picked some up on a black friday, for like 5.00 for the big ones. I added a bow, name tag and called it a day...

One year a girl in the office brought in homemade potato soup and toppings, a simple green salad w/ dressing, apple pie bars - for the office on Christmas eve, that was her gift for everyone... It was really great, everyone really enjoyed it.

At work people usually do small lotions, bags of Ghirardelli chocolates, warm socks, stuff like that.
Twice I bought large bags (10 pack) of disposible toe wamers from LLBean with coupon, the kind you stick on the bottom of your socks, and give one set per person. They are awesome while shoveling snow or kids sledding.
