Going way over can make everyone else's gift look small. - **Pick something they'll use.** Mugs, desk stuff, games and cozy things work for almost anyone. Clothes, perfume and skincare are hard to get right for someone you mostly see at work. - **Look for a hint.** If they've shared a wishlist, start there. A good guess still beats a random one. - **Tuck in a gift receipt.** That way they can swap it without having to tell you. ## FAQ ### How much should you spend on a coworker Secret Santa gift?
