Nice Things To Buy Your Co-Workers This Christmas

A classic move, no doubt. But while it may seem a little predictable, a quality candle is the gift that keeps on giving. Perfect for the aromatherapy-obsessed and those who pride themselves on a perfectly curated interior aesthetic, you can’t go wrong with a soy candle or set from Glasshouse candles. Play up the spirit of the season with a festive-themed candle – think notes of gingerbread, spiced fruit and cedar to really set the tone. Know your KK’s favourite scent? Treat them to a candle they’re bound to love, with scents ranging from invigorating citrus, florals and sparkling summer notes to more nuanced native and gourmand blends. 

Upgrade their emotional support water bottle with a fresh pick from the likes of Frank Green. A guaranteed crowd favourite, Frank’s drinkware range covers everything from their 8-glasses-a-day to their morning oat latte. Got a feeling they won’t part with their current one? Bring something new to their hydration rotation with a sleek slimline bottle designed to slip seamlessly into their bag, a cocktail set for after-work drinks, or reusable straws as a more sustainable alternative to single-use (or worse, flimsy cardboard) ones.

Whether you know how they spend their Saturdays (thanks, Stories), or their weekend persona remains a delightful mystery, you can’t go wrong with homewares. Beach towels and picnic blankets are great seasonal gifts they’ll use again and again, with brands like Country Road Home offering a range of towels, coolers and picnic rugs in a range of elevated neutrals for no-brainer gifting. 

Pull off the perfect sartorial gift and you’ll go down as one of the Secret Santa greats. Gift playfully with on-trend favourites like Crocs (yes, we promise!), bucket hats and sparkly bags. Hair accessories, beauty minis and jewellery are great stocking fillers for the office fashion girlies, while a wallet, cap or pair of men’s sunglasses are failsafe picks for the guy who seems to have everything.
