Christmas Gift Ideas for Co-workers

The holidays provide plenty of gift-giving opportunities in the workplace, from Secret Santa and white elephant gift exchanges to simply wanting to wish someone a Merry Christmas with a thoughtful card.

Here are some of our favorite gift ideas for co-workers for Christmas.

Memberships or Subscription Services

Think of something that makes your co-worker happy. Is it reading? Puppies? Wine? Chances are you’ll find a subscription or membership-based service specifically tailored to his or her interests. An American Greetings membership makes a thoughtful and versatile gift, offering unlimited access to thousands of ecards for every occasion and a meaningful way to stay connected all year long.

If you’re going solo on a gift or can’t afford a year-long subscription, think of short-term options that make a big impact. Maybe you work with someone who’s talked about wanting to check out the new yoga or cycling studio in town. Gift a few classes so they can try it risk-free before deciding on a membership.

Travel-themed Co-worker Christmas Gifts

Do you know a co-worker in need of a vacation? Maybe you overheard Beth from Accounting talking about her upcoming trip to Cancun. Even if your co-worker’s getaway isn’t until next summer, there are plenty of ways to give the gift of travel this Christmas.

Gift cards and vouchers for airlines, park admissions and sightseeing tours are great options for group-gifting. Or give them an incredible day through Virgin Experience Gifts. These unique digital gifts might let your co-worker experience a wine tour, hot air balloon ride or even spa day, making it easy to find something they’ll love. If you’re buying a co-worker’s Christmas gift yourself, personalized passport book covers and luggage tags are thoughtful and useful gifts that are easy on the wallet.

Christmas Gifts for Co-worker’s Desk

For in-office co-workers, consider small yet thoughtful Christmas gift ideas that can brighten their workspace and remind them of your appreciation. A mug warmer keeps their coffee or tea at the perfect temperature during long workdays, while personalized pens or notebooks monogrammed with their initials add a personal touch. Succulent plants are easy to maintain and add a pop of greenery, and stylish desk organizers or planners help keep their space tidy and productive.

For remote co-workers, consider a lap desk for comfort, a snack or beauty subscription box, noise-cancelling headphones or a digital gift card for coffee or streaming services.

These Christmas gift ideas for co-workers combine practicality with thoughtfulness, perfect for making the holidays special.

Holiday Office Party Gifts

If you’ve ever participated in a Secret Santa or other Christmas gift exchange, you know that there’s usually a rule about how much you’re allowed to spend. Working within a dollar range can be tricky, especially if you’re in search of a gift that will suit anyone in the office.

If you don’t want to spend any money but still want to get in on the fun, consider an alternative, handmade gift. Write down a dozen or more of your favorite uplifting, funny, and inspirational quotes on small pieces of paper. Fold the pieces, put them in a mason jar, and label it “Monday Pick-Me-Ups.” Your co-worker can start off each week with a smile.

We hope this list inspires thoughtful Christmas gift ideas for co-workers you value and appreciate having on your team!
