Christmas gifts for coworkers that feel thoughtful, not awkward
A work gift has one job: be kind without being personal. These are candles, tea and coffee things, mugs, games and small tech that suit nearly anyone you see at work, between $15 and $50 and in stock now.
Left out on purpose: jewelry, perfume, skincare and pajamas. Those say more than most offices want a gift to say.

- Nothing here depends on size, scent or personal taste.

Giving at work without the awkward
Keep it small, shared-taste and unpersonal: tea, a candle or a mug. Add a short note with the person's name and sign it. A $15 gift with a good note beats a $40 gift with none.
If your office does a group gift or a Secret Santa, follow that and skip the extras. Nobody wants to feel they owe you one.
Christmas Gifts for Coworkers: common questions
How much should I spend on a coworker for Christmas?
$15 to $25 is easy to defend for a coworker you like. Go up to $50 for a close teammate. If your office sets a limit, that limit wins.
What is a safe Christmas gift for a coworker?
Something you use up: tea, coffee, a candle or a mug. These are easy to wrap, easy to like and not personal.
What should I not give a coworker?
Anything personal, like perfume, clothing, jewelry or skincare. Skip alcohol and gag gifts too unless you know the person well.
Do I have to get my boss a gift?
No, and some companies ask you not to. If you want to, go in with the team on one small gift such as tea or a candle.
What can I send a remote coworker?
Something that ships easily and needs no setup, like tea, a candle or a mug. The shipping cost is shown before you pay, and we recommend ordering by December 10.
Where do you ship?
We ship to addresses in the United States. Gifts ship directly to you, and you'll see the shipping cost at checkout before you pay.
Can I return a gift?
Yes. You have 30 days after delivery, and anything delivered between November 1 and December 24 can come back until January 15. If you just changed your mind, you cover return shipping. If it arrives damaged or wrong, returning it is free.
Can I track my order?
Yes. We email tracking as soon as each item ships. If your order has several items, they can show up in separate packages, each with its own tracking.
