24 Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Coworkers
It’s that time of year again—Christmas is just around the corner, and if you’re anything like me, you’re probably scrambling to find the perfect gifts for everyone on your list.
While family and friends might be easier to shop for, picking out something thoughtful and appropriate for your coworkers can feel like a bit of a challenge.
After all, you want to show your appreciation without going overboard or getting too personal. So, to help make things a little easier (and to save you from another last-minute dash to the store), I’ve put together a list of some Christmas gift ideas that your coworkers will actually enjoy.
Let’s dive into some fun, festive, and work-appropriate gift ideas that’ll make you the office hero this holiday season!
Christmas Gift Ideas for Coworkers
Retro Polaroid Picture Printer
I have to admit, when I first stumbled across the idea of a Retro Polaroid Picture Printer, I felt like I’d struck gold. You know how everyone’s always snapping photos on their phones, but no one ever actually prints them? Well, this solves that problem in the coolest way possible.
This portable printer connects to your phone and instantly prints out photos in a retro Polaroid style. It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia and modern technology.
Imagine the fun your coworker will have printing out pictures from the last office party or their weekend trip. It’s like bringing the old-school photo album back to life!
Plus, who wouldn’t love to have a collection of cute Polaroid snaps pinned on their cubicle wall or fridge?
Trust me, this one is a winner.
Personalized Plant Pot with Succulent
Who doesn’t need a little green friend on their desk? But not everyone’s got a green thumb, right? That’s where the Personalized Plant Pot with Succulent comes in. Succulents are basically the superheroes of the plant world – tough, low-maintenance, and still somehow managing to look adorable.
The best part? The pot can be personalized! You can have their name printed on it or go for something fun, like “Plant Manager” or “I Wet My Plants.” It’s the kind of gift that adds a bit of personal flair to their workspace, and it’s perfect for that coworker who always talks about “bringing nature into the office” (without actually wanting the responsibility of watering a plant every day).
Custom Desk Name Plate with a Twist
Who says nameplates have to be boring?
This year, give your coworker the gift of a Custom Desk Name Plate with a Twist.
Instead of the usual “John Doe, Manager,” why not mix it up with something fun like “Spreadsheet Queen” or “Master of Multitasking”?
I once got one for a friend that said, “Professional Procrastinator” – it was a hit! It’s playful, but it’s also a unique way to show you know them well. It’s a great way to liven up their desk while giving them a little ego boost (or a laugh) whenever they sit down.
Gourmet Popcorn Sampler
Now, let’s talk snacks. Everybody loves snacks, right? And nothing says “happy holidays” quite like a box of delicious gourmet popcorn. A Gourmet Popcorn Sampler is perfect because it offers a variety of flavors – from sweet caramel to savory cheddar, there’s a little something for everyone.
If your office has those mid-afternoon snack breaks (or what I like to call “surviving until 5 PM moments”), this gift is a no-brainer. I can already imagine my coworkers’ excitement when they dive into a box of different flavored popcorn – it’s the ultimate treat-yourself moment that they didn’t even know they needed.
Bonus points if you can organize a little taste test event in the office!
Bluetooth Shower Speaker
If you’ve got a coworker who’s always humming a tune, a Bluetooth Shower Speaker might just be their dream gift. These waterproof, portable speakers come in all kinds of vibrant colors and make it easy for them to belt out their favorite songs while in the shower.
Imagine the joy of singing along to their favorite playlist without the fear of getting their phone soaked! It’s a quirky and fun gift, especially for that colleague who talks about their love for music or how they can’t get through the morning without a shower concert.
Just make sure you don’t accidentally give it to someone who shares an office wall with you – unless you’re cool with an impromptu karaoke session every time they’re on a call.
Custom Caricature Mug
Here’s a gift that’s guaranteed to get some laughs: a Custom Caricature Mug. Picture this: your coworker’s face turned into a playful caricature, all cartoon-like and funny, right there on their coffee mug.
Every time they sip their coffee or tea, they’ll be reminded of how much they mean to the team. It’s a little lighthearted fun that’s sure to brighten up any dreary Monday morning. Plus, it’s super practical – who doesn’t need an extra mug? And the best part? It’s personalized, so no more mug mix-ups in the office kitchen!
If you’re feeling extra generous, you could pair it with some fancy coffee or tea for the ultimate caffeinated holiday treat.
Scratch-Off World Map Poster
Do you have a coworker who’s always talking about their next adventure? The one who seems to have travel stories for every country on the globe? Well, a Scratch-Off World Map Poster is the perfect gift for them.
This poster lets them scratch off the places they’ve been, revealing vibrant colors underneath. It’s a fun way for them to show off their travel accomplishments, and it’ll look fantastic hanging in their office or home. Plus, it’s a constant reminder to keep chasing new destinations.
I’ve given this gift before, and trust me, it’s like an instant icebreaker. Suddenly, your coworker is telling you all about their trip to Bali or that time they hiked in New Zealand. It’s a gift that keeps on giving – in stories and inspiration!
Handmade Beeswax Wraps
We all have that eco-conscious coworker who’s always encouraging everyone to bring reusable water bottles and avoid single-use plastic. For them, Handmade Beeswax Wraps are a dream come true.
These wraps are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic wrap, made from beeswax and cotton, and they come in all sorts of cute patterns. They can be used to wrap up snacks, cover bowls, or keep food fresh, and they’re reusable – just wash them and use them again!
It’s the perfect gift for someone who’s all about sustainability and wants to reduce their carbon footprint. Plus, they’re practical and pretty – a win-win!
Mini Desk Vacuum
Here’s something you never knew you needed until you have it: a Mini Desk Vacuum. This tiny, USB-powered gadget is perfect for cleaning up those inevitable crumbs, dust, or even pencil shavings that pile up on your coworker’s desk.
It’s both practical and a little bit whimsical, and it’s the kind of thing that’ll get passed around the office because, let’s face it, everyone’s desk could use a little tidying up. Whether your coworker’s a neat freak or the “organized chaos” type, this little vacuum will come in handy.
And let’s be honest, cleaning up has never been more fun when you can zip around with a mini vacuum that looks like a little robot!
Personalized Embroidered Office Blanket

A personalized, embroidered blanket with their name or a funny message (think “Nap Master” or “Office Snuggle Enthusiast”) will keep your coworker warm and happy. Whether they use it while working or take it home for some serious Netflix binging, it’s a thoughtful and cozy gift that’s perfect for winter.
You might even spark a trend – soon, everyone will want their own personalized office blanket, and before you know it, you’ll be working in the coziest (and most stylish) office ever.

And hey, maybe they’ll even bring their new cocktail-making skills to the next office party!

These slippers aren’t just practical (because who doesn’t want warm feet?), but they’re also a fun nod to their quirky personality. Bonus points if you throw in a pair for yourself so you can have matching office slipper days (you know, for those remote Zoom meetings).
Coffee Scented Candle
We all know that one coworker who seems to run solely on coffee. If they don’t have a cup in hand by 9 AM, things get dicey. Why not give them a Coffee Scented Candle that lets them bask in the smell of fresh-brewed coffee all day long?
This gift is perfect for creating that cozy, coffeehouse vibe, even when they’re stuck in back-to-back meetings. It’s soothing, it’s aromatic, and best of all – it won’t spill on their keyboard. A win for both productivity and ambiance!

Music lovers, this one’s for you. Imagine giving your coworker a Custom Spotify Playlist Keychain engraved with a Spotify code that leads to a specially curated playlist. It’s like gifting them a musical experience – whether it’s a playlist of their favorite songs, holiday tunes, or even a collection of songs that remind you of fun office moments.
