Mini Blenders Make Great Gifts for Coworkers

Oftentimes, great gifts for coworkers are the items that make work better. Things that make our work day a little easier, a little brighter.

Balanced eating is an often overlooked component of work happiness.  Our busy schedules at the office get in the way of good nutrition. One way to squeeze in nutritional supplements or fruit smoothies into your day is with a personal blender.

Here are a few mini blenders that make great gifts for coworkers.

Hamilton Beach Personal Blender

My personal blender of choice, the compact design and 14oz blending jar is the perfect size for any fruit smoothie or protein shake.

The 175-watt motor does a capable job chopping ice or cutting through frozen fruit.

The blending jar is the perfect size to fit in a car’s cup holder — making it perfect for commuters.

blenderMaxi-Matic Personal Drink Blender

OK, so your coworkers are not going to be grating cheese or chopping nuts at their desks, but gridning coffee?  It’s a possibility.

Even if they are only going to use the Maxi-Matic for fruit drinks, the set comes with four spill proof 16 oz cups. That means you can get through the work week without having to rinse them out. And foam grips  ensure that you hang on to your beverage while moving from conference room to conference room. Now that’s a great gift for coworkers.

OsterMy Blend 250-Watt Blender

Available in several funky colors that will brighten up any dull office, this personal blender inlcudes a 20 oz sport bottle, sure to keep employees hydrated.  The unit is dishwasher-safe and boasts a re-settable fuse so even an everyday-user won’t burn out the motor.

Magic Bullet 17-Piece Express Mixing Set

The “Kleenex” of the personal blender space, the Magic Bullet name has become synonymous with all mini blenders.  Sometimes, great gifts for coworkers have to have name recognition.

With all kinds of blades, cups, and accessories, this product is for the avid “chopper.”  An included cookbook includes 10-second recipes, giving even the busiest worker bee the ability to stock up on quick nutrition.

BlenderBottle® Classic 28-ounce Blue

No power?  No problem!  The BlenderBottle, complete with its patented BlenderBall, merely requires the user to shake it up and down. A great alternative for workers who drink powdered beverages but don’t want to plug in.

The bottle features a stay-open flip cap, GripperBars to make it easy to hold and is made from BPA-free plastic.

They might be a little noisy, but a 5-second disruption shouldn’t get your coworkers in too much of a twist.  Consider one of these personal blenders as a great gift for a coworker. They won’t be disappointed.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

 

This Christmas classic directed by Tim Burton is a dark fairy tale that will impress young and old audience alike. The story of Jack Skellington and Sally unravels in Christmas Town, and after many adventures and some pretty amazing songs, the happy ending comes to please everyone. Keep in mind that very young children might find some of the characters scary.

Still an amazing movie, filled with love and friendship. [Read more…]

Easy Holiday Treats: Sweet Gifts for Coworkers

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).
