Gifts for Coworkers That Are Inappropriate

By Leave a Comment

Throughout the year, and especially around Christmas, there are going to be some gift exchange occasions in the office. If you are tired of looking for the politically correct thing to offer each and every time, the time has come for you to start a revolution! Read through our list of top gifts for coworkers that are inappropriate and let’s see how long before you get fired! Note: We are just kidding. The economy is awful right now.  Don’t get yourself fired. Make sure that your coworkers and boss have a sense of humor and they will appreciate having a good laugh. Alright, now that we made it clear, let’s see what will make people smile.

Unmotivational Posters

You know those motivational posters that can be found in any place of torture, like your work space, hospitals, the dentist or exam centers? Most of the times they just cause more frustration, instead of bringing comfort or motivation into our poor souls. Unmotivational posters, on the other hand, are brutally honest. [Read more…]

Easy Holiday Treats: Sweet Gifts for Coworkers

By Leave a Comment

Christmas season is around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about easy holiday treats for coworkers. Forget fruitcake! Easy holiday treats for coworkers come in such a great variety, that it is a shame to stick to the old habits. If you are looking for gift ideas for coworkers that are still edible and sweet, but want to go for something different this year, then our list of choices is going to be a lifesaver. We just hope you are not on a diet!

Dried Fruits and Nuts

Usually fruit cakes are loaded with dried fruits and nuts plus tons of sugar, flour and eggs to make the cake. Easy holiday treats do not have to have unhealthy ingredient.  Why not offer healthy fruits and nuts as a gift in a nice basket? Plus, it is much easier to combine pistachio with scotch, than a piece of cake. Right? Right. What’s more, you can just choose the fruits that the coworker likes and have no waste (you know what we are talking about: everyone eats the almonds and the cranberries and the raisins are left alone in the bowl at the end of the night).

Cheap Watches As Gifts for Coworkers

By Leave a Comment

You know what they say: time is money. And since offering money as gifts for coworkers can be quite inappropriate, you can offer them time! A watch is a great gift for a special occasion, like a promotion, a coworker changing department within the company or even as a birthday gift. You don’t have to go bankrupt to get a cute watch for your colleague either. If you are looking for cheap watches as gifts for coworkers, take a look at our picks. You will surely find something to fit your coworker’s taste and personality.

watch1For the elegant lady

For the coworker who loves pencil skirts, pearl earrings and silk shirts, you should choose an equally elegant watch. This Anne Klein model has a genuine leather soft pink strap and a rosegold-tone case. The dial is made of mother of pearl and the numbers are roman and with a matching rosegold-tone finishing. Such a watch is easy to wear every day with all sorts of neutral tones, like gray, taupe, aubergine or pistachio greens. Your coworker will love it and appreciate your taste as well.

For the young colleague

People in their twenties prefer casual watches, that they can wear with all types of clothing, in all sorts of activities. So, if you are looking for a gift for coworkers who are in their twenties -like that exceptional intern, who finally got hired- choosing a modern, casual watch is a great idea. We like this one from Timex. It’s simple design makes it both office-appropriate and suited for a party night out as well. The case is round and the numbers simple, both in 12 and 24-hour mode. The second hand is red; a happy touch. The nylon band comes in many colors, from neutral ones, like olive green, to bolder combinations, like the orange-gray combination. [Read more…]

Gifts for Commuting Coworkers

By Leave a Comment

Gifts for commuting coworkers are a great way to help make the commute to work every day worthwhile for our coworker friends.  This is why when you are looking for gift ideas for coworkers, it might be a good idea to make your gift-hunt a bit more specific. After all, with the exception of the few lucky ones who live next door to the office, the rest of us are biking, driving or taking the public transport to work every day and everyone would love to make this travel time more pleasant. So, here are some ideas for gifts for commuting coworkers. You will probably end up getting one of each for yourself as well, but it’s fine, because they are totally worth it.

musicThe Music

Yes, you can turn on the radio and listen to the news or the traffic report or even listen to your favorite metal band and do some head banging. No one is going to judge you for that. But if you want to do your coworker a favor and help them relax during this awful traffic congestion, get them the “Music for Commuting” box set.  The music is a relaxing mix of new age, ambient and electronica and it appeals to people with very different music tastes. The price is unbeatable as well.

The iPad Holder

Many of us use their iPad to kill some time while commuting with the train or bus. When it gets crowded in there however, many of us have dropped our iPads as well. Not fun. This is why your coworker will appreciate this rotating iPad holder that will allow them to strap their favorite device onto their hand, keeping it safe. Holding an iPad like that also prevents strain of the hand joints in the long run. [Read more…]
