Holiday Gift Guide: Coworkers



December 11, 2018

We all know during this time of year, holiday parties at work are alive and well. From white elephant exchanges to playing Secret Santa, we often struggle with what the most appropriate gifts would be for our coworkers. We don’t want to cross the line of professionalism, but sometimes these are individuals we’ve actually grown close with and coincidentally spend most of our Monday-Fridays with. So, here are a few suggestions on thoughtful, creative, and practical gift to get your coworkers.

  1. Coffee Gear – We all usually gather around the Keurig in the morning or come in with our favorite coffee drink. Gifting a nice coffee mug, travel thermos, and/or Starbucks or their favorite coffee shop’s gift card is always a practical way to go. 
  2. Restaurant Gift Cards – Do you and that one coworker always go out for lunch together? Do they frequent Chick-Fila every single day? Gift them with lunch on you with a gift card to their favorite lunch spot. 
  3. Journal – Work gets hectic at times and we often share our goals with each other after meetings, during lunch, downtime, etc. With the coworkers who have turned more into friends, here’s a simple reminder to them to keep track of their goals inside and outside of work. 
  4. Lotions/Candles – Lotions can be desk/at work items and the candles can be another reminder to unwind and decompress after a long day at home. Bath & Body Works also usually has weekly sales around this time of year!
  5. Desk Accessories – Cupholders, picture frames, detailed calendars and planners all work as practical gifts. Notice the coworker that brings collectibles to work or has a certain color theme going on in their space? Use these little clue to help pick inexpensive but thoughtful items that they can add to their work space.

Holiday Gift Guide: For Him



December 5, 2018

Christmas is quickly arriving and outside of the carols, eggnog, and mistletoe, we often scramble the malls to find the perfect presents for those we love. As well as we think we know a person, finding that perfect gift can be the ultimate struggle. Im this short series, I’ll list a few gift ideas for those who are often at the top of our lists.

In part one of this series, I’ll go through a few gift ideas for the special guy in your life. Whether it’s a new bae, longtime boo, or even dad,  it can often be difficult trying to find a gift with meaning and functionality. Men tend to me minimalists which makes the list of possibilities long and challenging when trying to pinpoint that perfect gift. So, here are a few ideas!

  1. Sneakers: Sneakers are functional and can purpose as a casual shoe for errands or a gym shoe for everyday workouts.
  2. Wireless/Bluetooth Headphones:  If your guy works out frequently or even just uses them to tune out people at work (let’s be honest) a pair of wireless or bluetooth headphones would get great use.
  3. Dress Shoes: For our 9-5 men, nothing sets a work outfit off more than a classic pair of dress shoes.
  4. Dress Shirts: To complete his work attire, a few great button-downs will not only add staple pieces to his closet, but give you the satisfaction of being partly responsible his outfits.
  5. Cologne: There’s nothing more alluring that a great-smelling guy so grab a few samples and pick out your favorite one to gift him a new cologne.
  6. Face/Beard Care Kit: Outside of using him a tester for your own face masks and serums, gift your guy with an all-inclusive face/beard kit that includes face-wash, moisturizer, and body scrub.
  7. Candles: Believe it or not, men like candles. They’ll more than likely never venture into Bath & Body Works to buy one, but they will definitely light them and enjoy the aromas.
  8. Duffel Bag/Work Bag: Whether it’s to the gym or work, upgrade the “do it all” bag that he’s been carrying around everywhere.
  9. Amazon Firestick: Perfect for him to enjoy all his favorite shows, sports series, movies, and music.
  10. Watches: Whether it’s a classic watch to pair with his everyday wear or a smart/fitness watch to track his steps, you can never go wrong with this accessory.
