25 Gift Ideas For Coworkers
Coworker gifts occupy a strange, specific territory — you know this person well enough to grab lunch with them, but not quite well enough to know what they do on weekends.
That middle distance is exactly what makes this hard. Too personal and it feels odd. Too generic and it feels like you barely tried. The best coworker gift lands somewhere that says I actually notice you without crossing any unspoken line — and once you know what you're looking for, it's easier to find than you'd think.
