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.
Charging Tag
From checking their email and leading team chats to joining in on remote meetings, many of your coworkers depend on their smartphones. Unfortunately, all of those tasks quickly drain the phone’s battery!
A compact charging tag is the convenient way to ensure their smartphone battery stays full during their busy day. Designed with a Lightning connector for Apple devices, it cleverly conceals a 10” cord and features a silver carabiner clip to hang from their keys, laptop bag, or anywhere they may need it.
Best of all, an exclusive Vera Bradley pattern adds the perfect amount of playfulness!
Power Bank
Smartphones aren’t the only essential devices in danger of low batteries. Laptops, tablets and smartwatches are equally necessary for professionals — especially those who travel frequently or work remotely.
Equipped with a USB-C, micro-USB and Lightning compatible cable, this portable power bank will let them power their devices whenever and wherever they go.
Plus, it’s perfectly sized to fit in a pocket for easy access.
Cord Organizer
Have you ever watched your coworkers search their workspace for lost power cords or is trying to untangle several cords an everyday occurrence?
This colorful cord organizer is the ideal gift to prevent these issues!
Large enough to accommodate a mini tablet, yet compact enough to fit in a backpack or purse, this handy accessory features a zip top, elastic pen slots and multiple interior pockets to store and organize cords, chargers, flash drives, earbuds and other essentials.
Gifts That Elevate Their Workspace
It’s no fun to spend the work week in a cubicle, pod or office devoid of that special touch.
Help your coworkers dress up those drab spaces with decorative and practical presents!
Journal with Pen
Although most professionals are dependent on their devices, there are plenty of times when they need to take notes during a meeting, jot down a reminder or make a to-do list.
That’s why every workspace needs this winning combo!
Sized perfectly for desk drawers and bags, each beautifully-designed journal includes an elastic closure, ribbon bookmark, a flexible cover, and a quality pen.
Mugs
A workspace without a mug is like a workday without caffeine.
Whether they’re a coffee connoisseur, tea enthusiast or a hot chocolate fan, our line of classic ceramic mugs and insulated travel mugs allows them to enjoy their favorite beverage when they need it most!
Take your pick of floral or seasonally-inspired designs.
