It’s that time of year again. Some of you may be lucky enough to work in a large office where everyone is thrown into a secret gift exchange to get Christmas gifts for colleagues. In that case, you can just run to Starbucks and pick something up. However, for those of us who work in a smaller, more intimate office, we might have to put a little more thought into what we get our coworkers.
Here are five of the hottest gifts this season for your coworkers:
Touch Gloves
As winter is approaching, gloves and scarves are starting to come out. One problem with gloves is that our touch screen phones cannot sense our touch with the gloves on. Luckily, there are now gloves on the market that contains conductive materials that allow touch screen phones to sense your touch.
Holt Renfrew – $78
The Bay – $18 – $80
Alice + Olivia Limited Edition Starbucks Mug
For the coffee or tea lover in the office. Help them step it up a notch with a limited edition mug from Starbucks. Each year, Starbucks partners with a designer to create a limited edition mug. This year, the company worked with Alice + Olivia to create this chic ceramic tumbler with a removable tutu!
