Cat’s Take: Gifts to give your co-workers

holiday party

By Cathi Coppinger

Wondering what to get your co-worker for Christmas? A recent survey asked people to name the best Christmas gifts they’ve gotten from a co-worker, and OFFICE SUPPLIES somehow made the list. Here are the top five:

  1. Gift cards. Which is nice because they’re easy. Twenty-five percent of the people surveyed said it’s their favorite thing they’ve gotten from a co-worker before.
  2. Food or alcohol, 11 percent. So, a bottle of wine might work.
  3. A gadget or something else that has to do with technology, 8 percent.
  4. Office supplies, 5 percent. So, apparently if you gave Dave in accounting a three-hole punch last year, you NAILED it. (???)
  5. Something homemade.

The survey also found that 93 percent of the people who plan to give a co-worker a gift said it’s because they consider them a “friend,” not just someone they work with.
