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.

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 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.

Looking for a gift for coworkers that will actually be useful and make their life better? Then you should definitely consider fitness devices. With most of us spending more than eight hours per day seated in front of a laptop screen, usually in an awful posture, office fitness can really contribute to improving our health and sense of well-being. Help your coworker get in shape at work with those little gadgets that will make fitness at the office not only possible, but fun as well!

Kettlebells

First of all, let’s make something clear: angry employees, computer screens and kettlebells do not mix well. If, however, your colleague is good at anger management, then getting them a set of kettlebells can be not only safe, but greatly beneficial. They come in many different weights, so they are suitable both for people who are new and experienced when it comes to fitness. They are small, so easy to store in an office drawer, which is quite convenient. This set comes with a DVD with instructions as well, to get them started. [Read more…]
