Tis' the season to go pull up a chit and hope you got a co-worker's name you actually like! In short, it is gift-giving season. The biggest task as secret santa is picking out a gift that the person you got actually likes. You are at an advantage if you picked a person you are already close with, but if not, don't stress out, we are here to help! 

You spend all day with these people but when the time comes, you don't know what to get them. You are stuck figuring out what that person will like that will fit in your price range. 

Here is a list of secret Santa presents you can give that co-worker without stressing too much or breaking the bank. 

Stationery

This may seem generic, but with the launch of so many new Japanese stores, you can have your pick of coloured pens, sketchbooks, notebooks, sticky notes and more! It will even come in handy to them as they will be able to use it at work. 

Coffee or tea

As long as you know that co-worker's preference, exotic coffee or tea makes for a great Christmas present and will help keep them awake during those long and boring days.

Socks

Socks are the most under-rated presents ever! They are uber-comfortable and colourful and come in so many variations. They are cosy, perfect for this season and are an easy fit! They also come in funky prints so you can show off what you love by wearing them!

Earphones

Nobody can have too many earphones, especially at work. This will come in handy for all kinds of co-workers - the introverts, the music lovers, the extroverts and everybody in between, because who doesn't love listening to tunes?  

Plants

With the world turning more eco-friendly, a plant seems like an appropriate gift this Christmas. A small lush green plant will add some colour to their desk and the thought of watering it might give them a much-needed break! It will also provide more oxygen in your workspace which is only beneficial to everybody!

Wireless speaker

Everybody deserves to listen to their favourite songs at full volume so a wireless speaker is perfect! If they decide to share, it will be a great addition to your office and help in relaxing and making the work environment so much more fun and enjoyable.

Mobile lens kit

Taking Instagram-worthy pictures has become a hobby of sorts now. A lens kit with a macro and zoom lenses for the phone will make for the perfect present for that co-worker who loves to take selfies or is passionate about photography. 

Wine and Chocolates

Those who aren't fond of dairy, wine comes to the rescue! Nothing spells Christmas like a bottle of lush red wine. Gift them with a small box of chocolates for a more grand gesture. 

This year, maybe skip out on those lousy gift coupons and get something thoughtful for the person you spend almost an entire day, five days a week. It will help you to improve your equation with them and also improve the bonding between the two of you!
