2013 Holiday Gift Gifts For Your Coworker

Let’s face it—many of us work for a living and spend an awful lot of time with our coworkers and colleagues. Despite the negativity the office may sometimes present, for the most part, we like the people we work with. In many offices around the world, people are participating in Secret Santas and gift exchanges. So it is only appropriate to have a list of selected gift suggestions coworkers and colleagues.

This list of eight gift ideas were all handpicked by moi, and were selected for a variety of reasons. Price, quality, availability, and uniqueness all came into play. This particular list features awesome gifts offered by small businesses and startups who are trying to make a name in their perspective areas. So purchasing a gift from this list won’t just make you a hit in the office, but it will also help a small business grow.

So without futher adieu, here’s our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts For Your Coworkers:

Philips Sound Shooter Wireless Speaker

In the workplace, most people enjoy listening to music while they work. I reviewed a fabulously awesome and inexpensive wireless speaker earlier this year (click here) from Philips, and it is a great quality portable speaker. I use it in my home and to travel, and I love it! There are many wireless speakers on the market, but priced at $49.95, it is a sweet snag. Your coworker will love you for thinking of their sounds, and even better, the speaker comes in different colors including orange, lime, and blue. The Philips Sound Shooter Wireless Speaker makes a great Secret Santa, Santa Swap, or gift exchange item for your colleagues in the office. Click here to purchase.

Bodyworks Ball

When working in an office on a laptop or computer all day, your back suffers. You shoulders and back may become stiff and sore. It is important to walk around every 45 min or so to make sure you aren’t too sedentary. Doing exercises throughout the day can also keep you loosened up and prevent neck and back pain. I received a wonderful tool from Bodyworks called the Bodyworks Ball. You simply use it against the wall, rubbing out your back and shoulders, keeping your body happy while at work. The Bodyworks Ball can be used in any workplace or office and doesn’t require much space. Your coworker would appreciate this gift, and you may even want to buy one yourself. It retails for $29.99 (click here to order) and is proudly made in the USA.
