Inexpensive Gifts for Coworkers

Does your workplace participate in inexpensive holiday gift exchanges or Secret Santa? Sometimes it’s tricky to know what your coworker likes so you’re basically buying a gift for someone that you don’t know very well.

Helpful tip: glance around your coworkers’ desk for things they could use or take note of when they share little things that would be “nice to have” to make their jobs easier. These gifts are all under $20 and simple, but still show that you put in effort.

Affordable gifts for coworkers — Foot rest // Blue light glasses // Desk calendar // Lunch bag // Phone stand // Planner // Mug warmer // Space heater // Padfolio // Inspirational desk calendar // To Do List // Desk pad // Water bottle // Work tote

Gifts for Someone Who Loves to Cook

You have to appreciate the loved one that loves to cook or host dinners. Yes, I will come over and bring the wine…in this case, we’re bringing the Christmas gift that your favorite cook will LOVE and actually use! These are also good gifts for cooks that seem to already have everything in their kitchen.
