Our guides on this topic
What works at the office
A coworker gift has to stay neutral: no clothing sizes, nothing too personal, and nothing that would raise eyebrows at work. Desk items are the safest choice, which is why Desk & Office is the largest universe here.
Budget and timing
Five ideas cost under $15 and ten under $30, which covers most Secret Santa and White Elephant caps. Three gifts go above $50 to $100 for a team collection. Office exchanges usually happen the week before the holiday break, so order by early December, and ask for a gift receipt at checkout in case the gift needs to be swapped. Prices are indicative and follow Amazon's live pricing.

Frequently asked questions
What is an original gift for a coworker?
The Screaming Goat (Book & Figure), at under $15, lets out a scream when pressed and wins most White Elephant swaps.
What is a coworker gift under $15?
The Legami Lovely Friends Gel Pen at under $15, the DEARMINE Positive Sloth Jar with 60 Affirmation Cards at under $15 and the Desktop Boxing Mini Punching Bag at under $15 all stay under $15. They work as stand-alone gifts or as a thank-you for help on a project.
What is a good last-minute gift for a coworker?
Neither requires a size or any knowledge of the person's decor.
Who are these gifts suited for?
Peers you work with every day, a desk neighbor, the name you drew for Secret Santa, or someone leaving the company. For a manager, a group gift is safer than an individual one.
Is it okay to give a gift to your boss?
US office etiquette says gifts flow down, not up: a manager may give to the team, but an individual gift to a boss can look like currying favor. If the team wants to mark an occasion, pool money for one group gift and sign a card together.
