If you work at an agency, chances are you're on the hunt for coworker gifts. Whether you have a secret Santa you’re stumped on or need to buy for your work bestie, we've got you covered.
Gift-buying can be a difficult endeavor, especially when you're looking for gift ideas for coworkers. How do you pick something thoughtful, but not overly sentimental? How can you be generous and make your coworker feel appreciated without breaking the bank?
One important thing to know about agencies is that personalities and needs vary across teams and departments. And, like nearly all gift guides, this one just might teeter on the brink of stereotyping people according to their roles. We know that not everyone will want the gift that we suggest for their job, but we do hope you are able to get some gift ideas for your coworkers from our guide. Now – o'er the guide we go, laughing all the way (in the spirit of Jingle Bells, of course).
