 When
giving office
gifts, give something that the person can really use!
Yes, there are many fun and whimsical office gifts out there, including
wind up toys, etc. The problem is, these sorts of things oftentimes
just end up cluttering a desk. They are fun for a moment, but that
moment can quickly be gone as you need to find a place for all of
your papers.
So, I have come up with some office gifts that a person will really
appreciate:
- Organizational office gifts – When giving organizational
office gifts, stay away from ones that are cheap plastic. These
ones do not look as nice, and they generally do not last as long.
A much better gift can be made of wood or mesh (metal) office
organizers. However, there are some fun plastic organizers available.
And it is possible to find some brightly colored ones, as well.
You can “improve” upon office organizers by using
Mod Podge to stick magazine cutouts or photos to them. You can
give a bulletin board that you have covered with a piece of fabric.
You can give an office drawer organizer that you have fully loaded
with office supplies. It is still possible to be creative when
giving organizational office gifts. You can still make such gifts
fun to receive! Organizes It has some great organizers for offices.
- Pens – You can never have enough pens at the office.
Give a large box of basic, Bic pens if you are giving to someone
who is prone to losing pens. For others, you can give a beautiful
pen with some extra ink cartridges. You can even get a pen engraved
with either a name or something else that is meaningful. One of
my favorite pens is an astronaut pen. An astronaut pen works well
even when at an angle or upside down. You can even find astronaut
pens that work well in freezing cold temperatures and that can
write underwater! Of course, the joke (and truth) goes: the Americans
spent billions of dollars trying to come up with a pen that would
work in outer space at zero gravity… the Russians just used
a pencil!
- Coffee mug warmer – An avid coffee drinker will really
appreciate one of these! Oftentimes, especially at work, your
coffee will completely cool down before you can drink it all.
If you want to warm it up, you need to head to the microwave.
However, you can plug in a coffee mug warmer and use it as a coaster,
and it will keep your coffee warm all day! Another great use for
a coffee mug warmer is as a candle warmer. You can place a candle
(one in a glass jar) on a coffee mug warmer. As it heats, the
scent of the candle is released. Coffee mug warmers make excellent
office gifts.
- Healthy snacks. Oftentimes, offices are filled with all sorts
of snacks like donuts and candy, but these snacks are not healthy!
It is important to have some healthy snacks to munch on with hunger
hits you at the office, this is why healthy snacks make great
office gifts. Of course, sometimes you have to be careful, because
you certainly do not want to imply that a person does not eat
well enough! Give dried fruit, instant oatmeal, single serve fruit
cups, pretzels, whole wheat crackers, applesauce, granola bars,
popcorn, etc. It is possible to make quit a fun gift basket out
of these healthy snacks.
If you are still stuck as to what sort of office gifts to get a
person, take a look around his or her cubicle or office. Take a
look at what is already there and what could be there. See how organized
or messy the person is and how healthy, etc. You are sure to come
up with some great ideas for office gifts if you just study the
office!
