44 Budget-Friendly Gifts for Your Coworkers (Yes, Even the Ones You’re Not Fond Of)

1. A Taylor Swift Little Golden Book for Swifties of all ages — even if you're not familiar with the references, this gift is an affordable option! It’s so inexpensive you could buy a WHOLE STACK to keep on hand for future occasions.

2. A set of Globbles — the perfect break from screen time to release some tension. These squishy stress relievers can stick to nearly any surface *without* leaving behind a mess. A definite upgrade from the old-school slime.

3. The Reverse Coloring Book — a perfect gift for those who love coloring but are looking for something fresh. As the title suggests, the colors are already filled in, and they can draw in the lines to complete each picture.

4. A delightful embroidered bookmark that you can let them believe was purchased from a charming holiday market or local craft fair.

5. Gift them Burn After Writing, a guided journal they've likely seen on TikTok. It invites journalers to express their emotions and thoughts away from digital screens. And when they're done, they can burn it for a bit of dramatic fun.

6. A charming octopus-shaped blackhead remover for exfoliating skin, helping them manage blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores. If they're always experimenting with the latest beauty trends or gadgets, this cute gift will be a hit!

7. A set of floral hair clips they might have spotted on TikTok, or perhaps they've never come across a claw clip they didn't adore.

8. A set of scratch-off holographic notes, perfect for leaving little notes for each other.

9. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, a fun-filled card game that provides a refreshing change from the typical NSFW Cards Against Humanity deck. This one's family-friendly and probably HR-approved, too!

10. A Jeopardy trivia book to honor Alex Trebek while sharpening their trivia skills. I’m looking forward to their game show debut.

11. A 12-pack of energy-boosting shower steamers that can be split into gifts for your most stressed-out coworkers. These could also be a hit with parents who rarely have time to relax with a bath, except for their toddlers.

12. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey (or 12 packets) for the person who works so hard preparing homemade meals but always gets those puppy dog eyes when you eat in front of them.

13. Dangling pearl earrings that add a glamorous touch when an outfit needs that little extra flair. Sometimes, plain pearl studs just aren’t enough.

14. A stylishly dangerous pen set they'll want to carry everywhere, always looking for an excuse to use them.

15. A collection of tiny strawberry-shaped candles for those who have a soft spot for food-inspired items that aren't edible. This is an irresistibly cute choice. 

16. A brown sugar saver cleverly disguised as a charming terra-cotta bear, something baking enthusiasts may wish they'd known about sooner.

17. Some sleek, minimalist magnetic bookmarks that not only look stylish on the page but also offer a gentler touch than traditional metal or plastic bookmarks.

18. A cleaning pen for the coworker who can't stop showing off their engagement ring in every Instagram story. It uses micro-fine cleansers, polishing agents, and a polymer to give the ring a professional-level shine, all for the cost of their morning coffee.

19. A Michael Scott/Prison Mike reversible dishwasher magnet for that colleague who still can’t stop watching The Office. Maybe it's time to gently encourage them to explore other great mockumentary shows, like What We Do in the Shadows or Abbott Elementary.

20. A set of four licorice-flavored straws perfect for your colleague who loves getting extra creative with candy pairings during snack time.

21. A jar of cleaning gel designed to fit between the keys of their keyboard and remove the mess from that grilled cheese sandwich you both quickly grabbed during lunch.

22. A notepad with a well-organized structure that will captivate anyone who finds a sense of allure in lists. Though, you might want to keep that to yourself when talking to HR.

23. A six-pack of scarf scrunchies for an easy and quick way to tie up their hair with a touch of glamour, even if they have to do some serious math to recall the last time they washed it.

24. A four-pack of bamboo back scratchers so they can conveniently reach that one spot without the awkward contortions.

25. A nourishing hand cream designed to revive dry, cracked cuticles and rough hands. All that hand washing during bathroom breaks really takes its toll!

26. A disco car mirror ornament (or perhaps a tree decoration?) for your office buddy who embraces both the disco *and* yee-haw vibes.

27. A deck of gold cards to joke about dealing out Benjamins until you're actually doing it at your next poker night. Or choose matte black cards to fit their goth aesthetic.

28. Or a highly popular "cat dancer" toy that their "assistant," always in front of the screen taking notes, will enjoy playing with during coffee breaks. 

29. A set of three collagen celestial under-eye masks to leave them with a starry-eyed look while they relax and reduce puffiness. 

30. A mini inflatable tube man to add some fun to their workspace... and maybe even spark a spontaneous performance at the next company holiday gathering. 

31. A mini karaoke microphone for the person who believes the world is their stage and can belt out all the lyrics to 'Weird Science'—a karaoke classic we should all know! (It's a blast, FYI.)

32. A Nic Cage coffee mug that changes from solid black to an epic masterpiece is the perfect way to show how much you *appreciate* their dedication to the job. 

33. How about a compact coffee warmer so they can keep their coffee at the perfect temperature without having to reheat it in the microwave after diving into their email inbox.

34. A set of 48 cheerful binder clips that will make everyone at the office jealous. Oops, sorry about that!

35. A set of six succulent-inspired votive candles for the budding plant enthusiast whose attempts at caring for actual plants have yet to bear fruit.

36. Or perhaps some plant food spikes for indoor plants, perfect for those moments during video calls when they lament how their home office plants aren't thriving as hoped.

37. A mini reading journal packed with delightful prompts, offering a step up from the notes they’ve been jotting down on their phone.

38. A 20-pack of nature-themed illustration postcards, the perfect stationery for those who still adore sending snail mail. Or, they’d make lovely additions to any wall as art!

39. A Nightmare Before Christmas mini cross-stitch kit for your crafty friend who’s yet to dive into the world of cross-stitching. (It’s a lot of fun!)

40. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount for the person who’s mastered PTO like a pro (seriously, we should all aim to be like them!) but claims to get it all done by stalking Google Flights, only packing carry-on, and flying budget airlines. This phone mount will easily attach to their tray table, chair arm, or suitcase, ensuring non-stop entertainment while in the air.

41. A jar of Everything Bagel Seasoning that they’ll be sprinkling on everything—especially now that the Friday morning office bagels are no longer a thing since you switched to working from home.

42. Some fun waterslide nail decals for the person who always rocks new nail art on video calls. You’ll have plenty of time to ask them about their nail care routine while waiting for the last person to finish their meeting.

43. A fan-favorite ~secret~ popcorn seasoning for the snack lover who’s always lamenting that microwave popcorn just doesn’t compare to the movie-theater version. We hear you! You don’t need to mention it every time! (Trust me, it’s fantastic.)

44. Bacon-shaped bandages for those who believe bacon improves everything. Let’s see if these work as well on scrapes and cuts as they do on taste buds.
