It’s that time of year again – the holidays are fast-approaching! And what goes hand-in-hand with the end of the year festivities? The office Holiday Party!

This is an exciting time for some, but a dreaded time for others. What do you buy your co-workers, or your boss? Do you do a random gift exchange? What if you get the new person, that you know nothing about?

 

What is Appropriate to Give for a Holiday Party?

There are many gifts that will be appropriate and appreciated, regardless of the person’s interests (and I don’t mean that big bottle of Johnny Walker)!

So where do you start?

I have compiled a list of tasteful and appropriate gifts that you can give to co-workers that won’t break the bank!

I have included an infographic, as well as some links to the products themselves.

Holiday candles are both festive, and the fragrance can create the ambiance of the holiday season. The minute I smell cinnamon, my mind immediately drifts to chilly fall days, and the cold winter months! Here are a few of my favorites:
