Gifts for coworkers
they’ll actually use.
A good coworker gift is useful, neutral and modest: a nice mug or tumbler, good coffee or chocolate, a desk gadget, or a game for the break room. That works for the holidays, a birthday, a thank-you or a goodbye. Skip clothes, scents and anything too personal.

Picking for a coworker
- Keep it neutral. Things for the desk or the kitchen are easy to like. Clothes, perfume and skincare are hard to get right for someone you mostly see at work.
- Match the moment. A small treat is plenty for a thank-you. For a birthday or a goodbye, a group gift with a card everyone signs goes further.
- Ask about food first. Allergies, diets and caffeine can rule out snacks and coffee. When you're not sure, pick something that isn't food.
- Give it privately. If you're only giving to one or two people, hand it over away from the group so no one feels left out.

More questions? See all FAQs
What is a good gift for a coworker?
Something they'll use at work or on the way there: a phone stand, a desk lamp, a good pen, a tea sampler or a puzzle for the break room. Add a short note.
How much should you spend on a coworker gift?
Keep it small: $10 to $25 is plenty for one coworker, and it won't feel like something they need to pay back. For a Secret Santa or a team collection, use the amount the group agreed on.
Do you have to give your coworkers Christmas gifts?
No. Plenty of teams do a Secret Santa or sign a group card instead. If you do give, keep it small, and give to everyone you work closely with or hand it over privately.
How are these ideas chosen?
We start with what people are adding to their GiftList lists, plus our team's picks, then narrow it down to gifts under $50 that suit a coworker. Stores set the prices, and they change often.
Are these prices current?
Not always. You're seeing each store's price from the last time we checked, and stores change prices and stock often. You'll see the final price at checkout.
