I have a team of about 20 folks and come Christmas I always have challenge as to what gift to give to everyone and also in fact the challenge lies in the fact that you need to have something unique every year and also keep tabs on the budget.I can tell you from my experience that it is tough to get good gifts for office staff.

This year was different as my wife was able to make some nice homemade and handmade cell phone stands for office desk use. However to come to that decision as a gift was a tough mental game and on numerous occasions I thought I will put down more money and just with something which is available in Staples.In total the gift cost me around $15 each and I would say by the look of it that it easily feels more than that.

Now if you are a CEO of a company or even one of the top bosses then you will not have the liberty to give a personal gift to the entire office staff so keep the personal gifts to a select few friends. For the entire office go for the bulk Christmas gifts for office staff.

Here is my advice for selection of the inexpensive office gifts for your co-workers

On all occasions, you can easily find a lot of gift options to your friends and family who are close to you as you know them well enough to decide on what kind of gift can be given and also you don’t mind about the expense you are planning to spend on it. Whereas in case of the coworkers it is entirely different as you know less about them and also you have your budget fixed on that so that the options available seems to be considerably less than the earlier one.

As always the list of the coworkers will be a little longer than the usual in most of the cases, you might be planning to spend reasonable if it is really a large group and this will be matched only with the gifts that are cheap.

Of course there are options like home made gifts and other ones in order to make the expense to come within your budget but it needs your effort and time to accomplish the task. You can find some options at the stores also that is in the range between $5 and $10 and to make it suitable for gifting all you need is the creativity with which you can do a lot of things. Try specifically searching for office gifts under 5 or the 10 dollar office gifts

Given below are some of the inexpensive gifts for the coworkers which you can consider something for your list also but make sure to think about those warnings along with some gifts.

Creativity will help you

This question should always be there with you and that is what to buy for  office staff for Christmas ? You can be creative by making collage of photographs of all the coworker’s desks and get it printed digitally for each one of them either though the online digital facility or through Kodak gallery. Gift wrap it and this kind of gift will be suitable on any occasions.

In a small budget plans always creativity helps a lot like you can pack small packs of popcorn or Hershey Kisses and pack it in such a way that it get into the coffee mug which you are planning to gift along with a special message and gift wrap and tie ribbon around it for each one of them.

Do it yourself

You can even try the homemade chocolates covered pretzels or peanuts and also you can try variations with the stuffing inside or outside. But make sure that it is homemade or else the gift is not that worth giving. Wrap them in the cellophane paper and tie curly ribbon around it to get it ready to gift.

Stationery items used in the office can be a nice option. For example the erase board which can be ordered in a bulk for gifting that you can further improvise it by doing some special crafting on both its side. This you can do with local artists who will be inexpensive and also will finish it in a shorter duration.

Also in the list are the cute notepads, specially designed mouse pads and even clay angels to decorate the desk are some of the best options which seems inexpensive as well as perfect to the coworkers. You can also add in the list a bunch of tea bags and a mug or a tote bags or themed movie gift cards which you can give it a thought.

Avoid Office stores and go to the farmers market

When you do give a visit to the local farmers market you can find a lot of variety of options which with your creativity you can do wonders as they will be relatively inexpensive and something unique as nobody will think of trying here. Thus you can try every year with something new and unique for the coworkers which are also inexpensive and for sure should be a good reminder of the occasion.

For those who are recovering, the serenity prayer gifts are the best options that can be given as gift for them which will give them some kind of strength on seeing it. If in case somebody whom you know well is in the counseling center or under going some treatment then they can be supported spiritually by giving them the serenity prayer cards which will give them internal strength to face the thing that is coming forth. In places like condolence, or sympathy or healing or as encouragement gifts these are the best options you can try well.

The gift when given to them can also contain serenity T-shirts, serenity prayer bracelets and along with it the serenity prayer cards. Some other serenity gifts are the keepsakes, totes, art and stationeries.

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity

I cannot change

Courage to change

The things I can

And wisdom
