The workplace “Secret Santa” gift exchange is a beloved annual tradition for some.
For others, it's quite challenging!
If you put a lot of thought and effort into your gift-giving, then finding something special for a coworker is often tricky. It can add an extra level of pressure when that coworker is new or is from another department.
Then there's the dreaded “White Elephant” gift exchange where everything is anonymous and presents can change recipients several times.
Luckily, we're here to help make your office gift exchange experience more enjoyable! We've selected some of the best gift ideas for coworkers to make your Secret Santa gift exchange a rousing success.
Top-Notch Tech Gifts
The key to selecting a winning Secret Santa present is to focus on gifts that are fun and functional. Our tech accessory gifts deliver in both of those areas.
Smartwatch Band
Smartwatches have become the go-to accessory, perfectly blending style and function. If your coworker checks their notifications or monitors their fitness from their wrist, offer a unique and personal touch to their wearable tech with an Apple Watch band. Choose a subtle floral or bold print for the perfect amount of playfulness!
Best of all, an exclusive Vera Bradley pattern adds the perfect amount of playfulness!
AirPod Case
From video calls to music during your morning commute, wireless headphones like AirPods are an absolute necessity. They're also easy to lose, so our Bag Charm is the perfect —and perfectly stylish— way for your coworker to keep their headphones safe! It's easy to clip to a bag or backpack so the AirPods will be easy to grab when needed.
