7 Creative Gifts for Coworkers in 2022

Are you looking for gifts for your coworkers? Forget buying the usual gift card. Instead, this year, give your coworkers something creative and unique.

Here are seven creative gift ideas for coworkers in 2022.

1. Smart Mug

If your coworker is a big coffee drinker, they’ll appreciate having a smart mug. These mugs have warming plates that will keep their coffee hot for hours. They can sit neatly on the person’s desk and help them get the energy boost they need to get through the afternoon.

Smart mugs come in a variety of sizes, so choose one that best fits the person’s personality. For example, you can find smaller mugs that fit just one cup of coffee, or you can find a larger one that’s the size of a tumbler and can fit multiple cups of coffee.

While these mugs are most commonly used for coffee, they can also be used to hold tea or other hot beverages.

2. Custom Socks

Everyone wears and needs socks. Why not give your coworkers custom socks as gifts this year? Choose a fun design, or use your employer’s logo. You can even have a custom socks fundraiser. 

Custom socks are truly a unique and creative gift to give, and your coworkers will appreciate having a comfortable, warm and soft pair of socks to add to their collection.

3. Potted Plant

Are you looking for a different kind of gift? Why not give your coworkers something that will brighten up their space? A potted plant will add some life to their desk and even help improve the indoor air quality.

Choose a plant that’s easy to care for, such as:

·         Pothos

·         Snake plant

·         Aloe Vera

·         Succulents

·         Rabbit’s Ear

·         Chinese Evergreen

If it won’t be able to sit near a window, make sure that you choose a plant that can thrive in low-light environments.

4. Essential Oil Diffuser

Essential oils can help you feel more relaxed, energetic or happy. Of course, it all depends on the oils you use. This year, give your coworkers a diffuser that they can use to be more productive at work or relax when times are stressful.

Diffusers are also great for putting more moisture back into the air. Indoor air can often be dry, especially in the winter months.

Diffusers come in a variety of sizes and styles, so find one that fits your coworker’s style.

5. Desk Organizer

A messy, cluttered desk can make it hard to stay productive. A desk organizer is a creative, thoughtful gift that your coworkers will actually use.

Choose an organizer that has space for everything the person needs to store, such as:

·         Documents

·         Files

·         Pens

·         Other office supplies

You can also find organizers that can store the person’s phone or other personal effects. Also, consider the style and color of the organizer. Make sure that you select one that matches the coworker’s personality.

If they don’t like the way the organizer looks, they may never use it.

6. Mini Desk Fridge

Sometimes, you need a cold drink or a quick snack to help boost your productivity and put you back on the right track. A mini desk fridge is a creative and unusual gift to give to your coworkers, and it will allow them to grab a snack or drink with ease.

These mini fridges sit perfectly on a desk or in the corner of the room. They’re typically large enough to hold six cans of soda or a few snacks.

Desk fridges come in a range of styles and sizes, so choose one that matches the person’s personality and needs.

7. A Chocolate Stash

Do you love chocolate? Who doesn’t right? A chocolate stash is a great idea for anyone with a sweet tooth that wants to have a little something hiding away when they’re watching Netflix or even working at their desk.

Unless the person is lactose intolerant, you can be almost certain that the gift of chocolate will be well-received.

You can add multiple items to your chocolate stash, including:

·         Chocolate bars

·         Truffles

·         Chocolate covered pretzels or nuts

If you can, find out what type of chocolate your coworker enjoys.

Final Word

Finding the right gift for a coworker isn’t easy, but these seven ideas can help you get started. Always consider the person’s personality and lifestyle when choosing a gift to ensure that it’s something they’ll love and use.
