Holiday Gift Ideas for the Whole Office

With the holiday season right around the corner, it’s time to spread some cheer and shop for gifts for those important people in the office. This doesn’t have to be a hassle, though – here are some thoughtful and unexpected gift ideas to get you started.

Something for…Everybody

The end of the year is a good time to say “thank you” to those who have made our work lives a little easier. Start with these natural fruit teas that are warming, delicious, and support good health. Aromas are known to set the scene for rejuvenation, so encourage your teammates to carve out a little me-time with these vegetal wax travel candles in scents like Black Fig, Cinnamon, and Sandalwood. Speaking of wellbeing, stay organised while protected from illness with these handy (and sustainable) face mask holders made from recycled wallpaper.

Something for…Secret Santa

So you’ve drawn a random name out of a hat for office Secret Santa...Though the shopping comes with a set budget, that’s not enough to help you narrow things down. This year, instead of picking up another hand cream, try to observe what they like and need. For those with a green thumb, this self-watering planter will add a splash of whimsy to their growing (get it?) collection. Those who can’t switch on their work brains until they’ve had some caffeine will appreciate this DIY kit, which allows you to customise your own leather coffee sleeve for that morning jolt. Then finally, give the gift of beauty sleep and send your colleague off to sweet slumber one of these herbal eye pillows.

Something for…Your Office BFF

They’re your confidant when it comes to the work day, and your go-to lunch buddy. You already share your trials and tribulations at work, so the best gift will be an experience that you can enjoy together. If creativity is what bonds you, try a mosaic lamp workshop, or another crafty workshop that lets you make something beautiful to bring home – or give to each other! If they’re your favourite foodie at the office, pick up a bake-at-home kit so you can whip up something delicious, to share during the next mid-day break. And if you want to shake up the mundane work week, add a little adventure to your agenda and go glamping!

Something for…Your Boss

For that mentor and team leader who inspires you in the workplace, the right gift is something classy and sophisticated – just like how you see them. This stylish wireless charging stand pad comes in two colours to match their office décor, keeping their smart phones charged up in style. Koi fish symbolises good luck, and this set of stackable glasses will represent the wishes you send your manager for the year ahead. And of course, when you’ve just nailed that presentation you’ve all been working endlessly for, give your fearless leader some much-deserved time off with a relaxing spa treatment.

There’s one last important gift recipient on our list: the community. See where you can volunteer this holiday season.
