Some coworkers jump at the opportunity to get creative for their office secret Santa while others need a lot of help to come up with a decent idea. Finding a great gift for someone you know well can already be a difficult task. This task gets even more difficult when the Christmas gift is for a coworker you are less familiar with. There is also the question of how personal the gift should be. Would you give a coworker the same gift you would give your friend? Many people opt for basic gifts and look at websites like eBay to do this, after all, you don’t want to be spending a fortune on a colleague gift when you have everything else to afford over Christmas. It might be worth your while to get coupons from companies like Raise to save even more money on eBay products.
This extensive but compact list has some great gift ideas to help you find a suitable gift for your coworker so you can go to the secret Santa office party to have fun instead of over-thinking the gift.
