Christmas is getting closer! Have you thought about what gifts to get for your work colleagues yet? We’re sure you haven’t, as you’ll think “I’ll leave it for the week before Christmas break”. Yes, that’s understandable considering that we’re all super busy with work week in week out, but if you wait till the last minute, you’ll most likely miss very good deals and the best ideas will have gone too.
Also, don’t forget that if you’re the new guy in your office it might be better to make a good impression from the start on your work colleagues, and gifts are not irrelevant in this regard. If you get some good, thoughtful gifts for your work colleagues, they will remember it, and they will probably be even more than willing to help you out in times of need . This doesn’t mean that you need to shop for gifts for all of your team, just think of the 4-5 colleagues that come closer to your idea of ‘friends’ or with whom you have a better bond at work. This way your wallet won’t be crying, and you’ll be able to get all your family and close friends great gifts as well.
We’ve selected three ideas that can be adapted for both female and male colleagues, so that you won’t be faced with a constant dilemma at the moment of purchase; besides, these are items that your friends will actually use.
Card holder:
Although card holders are still slowly making their way to be “everyday” items, their usefulness and elegance is doubtless, and they will make for a gift that is chic and simple at the same time. Also, since not many professionals possess them, you’ll make your colleague a favor in getting them one, as they would eventually get it sooner or later. Be it for keeping their ID, passport, or just their credit card safer, they’re an item that every business man or woman should possess.

A charging cord
How many times did your co-worker sitting next to you ask you to lend him your charger? Admit it, getting your co-worker a charging cord can be a great Christmas gift, and will be beneficial for you as well, you will finally be able to charge your own devices instead of recharging your colleagues’ ones. Asos has a nice blue charging cord for just £7 in its catalog, free shipping included. Check it out here.
Fancy Tea
Tea is a classic gift, perfect every day all year round. Offices live on tea and coffee, so we guess your colleagues have at least 2-3 cups a day, and will certainly appreciate your gift. You can easily get some fancy tea without spending more than £10 in a luxury store such as Harrods. They’ve got a selection of almost 100 kinds of teas, nicely packaged in tins or gift boxes. Shop on their website or go into store for the perfect gift.
