It’s holiday time and offices all around the country are participating in Secret Santa gift exchanges. Many people include a request for a gift, but for those that are looking for a surprise, it can be tough to shop for. Here we’ve identified 7 affordable gifts for that special co-worker looking for a surprise this holiday season.

1. Printed Socks

Warm socks printed with winter themes are always a great gift, especially for those working in a chilly office. They are fairly inexpensive and come in a variety of styles to fit any of your co-workers.

2. Gloves

The holiday season also marks the inception of winter and the hats and gloves come out. A nice pair of waterproof gloves or knitted mittens can make for a nice traditional Christmas gift.

3. Chocolate

Nine out of ten people love chocolate, so if you’re unsure what to buy, chocolate gives you a great chance at getting it just right. Pick out something that has a variety of flavors. Quality is important and cheap chocolate is not a great gift idea.

4. Wall Art

Landscape art and framed motivational posters make great gifts for those in need of a cubicle renovation. Do your best to find out what type of art your co-worker might like so they have something they’ll enjoy looking at each day.

5. Plant

Potted plants make for great gifts as they make great decorations and can even help the air quality in your office. Make sure you get plants that can live indoors and require very little maintenance.

6. Gift Card

Everyone loves gift cards because they allow you to pick out your own gift. If you’re not sure of a specific store to purchase a card from there are plenty of general options that will allow your recipient to shop anywhere they’d like.

7. Coffee Mug

Decorative, personalized and novelty coffee mugs make great gifts for coffee and tea drinkers. You may also consider picking up a travel mug or spill-proof thermos that will help keep any office electronics safe.
