What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.
Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.
1. Affirmation cards you can slip to your work spouse who could use after a lil' positivity after your monster of a boss (unjustly) called them out in a department meeting.
2. Or a set of dream-decoding cards to help them finally figure out what the heck that dream meant they had last night and they Slacked you about as soon as you both got to the office.
3. A mini karaoke microphone because the whole world is a stage and they know ALL the words to "Weird Science," as all of us should! (I do. It's a very fun karaoke song, FYI.)
4. A pair of highly rated earbuds so they'll finally get some peace and quiet in your open office without disrupting their makeup, hair, or that giant velvet headband they've been rocking as of late.
5. Or a desktop stand as a spot for their huge not-right-now headphones to rest.
6. A Jeopardy trivia book to pay respects to Alex Trebek while honing their own skills. I can't wait to tune into their game show debut.
7. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey (or 12 packets) for the person who TRIES so hard at whipping up homemade lunch for $'s sake but always has puppy dog eyes staring at your food when you eat together.
8. Or a HUGE bundle of hot sauce in case the Sriracha goes MIA from the break room every friggin' day and you're tired of helping them hunt for it.
9. A dangerously chic pen set they'll want to take everywhere and find most any excuse to use.
10. Bowtiful-earrings for the person who goes all out for every last holiday party and breathlessly documents said ensembles on their Insta grid.
11. A horde of 25 squishy friends to split up amongst the folks who always look like they're on the verge of snapping a pen in half.
12. A brown sugar saver disguised as an adorable terra-cotta bear that baking fiends *might* be sad they didn't know was a thing 'til now.
13. A water-resistant laptop sleeve in case you're the most graceful in your group of work buds, what with your not-tripping-over-door-jambs and keeping-the-lid-on-your-water-bottle ways.
14. And a colorful keyboard cover as some insurance for some in-the-middle-of-writing-an-email coffee spill.
15. Some minimalist magnetic bookmarks that'll look dang good on the page while being a bit gentler on the page than other metal or plastic bookmarks.
16. A cleaning pen for the coworker who just got engaged and can't stop flashing that bauble in every single Instagram story installment. It's made with micro-fine cleansers, polishing agents, and a polymer for a pro-level shine at the price of their morning coffee order.
17. A 10-pack of desk- or purse-friendly lotions because all that sanitizing sure is leaving my hands a bit drier than usual.
18. A Baby Yoda night-light that'll make them ooh and ahh as they make their way down to the bathroom in the middle of the night to handle their business.
19. A ~soothing~ coloring book in a compact size they'll find a spot for in their filing cabinet when they need to zone out for a bit.
20. A 10-pack of silicone straws for the colleague who still isn't over the office nixing the plastic straws and hasn't quite warmed up to those steel ones. The silicone ones are easier to clean and have a drastically better mouth feel than cold metal.
21. A jar of cleaning goo that'll help get down in between their keyboard keys and erase the woes of that grilled cheese you escaped the office to grab together and bring back.
22. A ~structured~ notepad that the person who thinks lists are sexy will adore.
23. Our a mouse pad notepad to kill two birds with one stone.
24. A six-pack of scarf scrunchies for a one-and-done task of putting up their hair and adding a glam touch even if they have to do some REAL math to figure out the last time they washed it.
25. A four-pack of bamboo back scratchers so they can avoid an awkward shimmy when they've got to get to that one spot.
26. A nourishing hand cream to give their ragged cuticles and dry paws a major overhaul. All that hand-washing during bathroom breaks always takes a toll!
27. Animal-shaped paperclips that'll help them win the Cutest Desk Award this year. Again.
28. A deck of gold cards to joke about playing with Benjamins 'til you can do that IRL at your next poker night. OR go with some matte black ones to match their goth ways.
29. A set of cat stickers that'll help 'em keep tabs on what's in which file folder.
30. A yummy mouse pad to make every hour snack o'clock.
31. A loose-leaf tea infuser no one will confuse with their own.
32. A charming mug to make beverage breaks *that much* better.
33. And a compact coffee warmer so they won't have to microwave that cup of joe to get it back to the perfect temp it was before they started tackling their inbox.
34. Fingerless gloves so they won't have to wear a blanket in the office.
35. A 48-pack of cheerful binder clips that'll incur the envy of everyone else in the office. Sorry!!!!!!
36. A six-pack of succulent votive candles for the aspiring old plant lady whose track record for keeping actual plants alive is less than stellar.
37. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, a super-fun card game you can then play with them because that NSFW Cards Against Humanity deck is a bit tired by now. Well, with this, it's safe for *all* ages. And probably with HR, too!
38. A mini reading journal full of fun prompts that'll be a step up from the note they've been keeping on their phone.
39. A 20-pack of nature illustration postcards as a delightful stationery solution for the person who still stans snail mail. Or, they would make for beautiful wall art!
40. A Nightmare Before Christmas mini cross-stitch kit if your friend is super crafty but hasn't quite struck into cross-stitching yet. (It's super fun!)
