Fun Christmas Gift Ideas for Every Office Personality: The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide for Colleagues

  • 7 Nov 2024
Tick off your holiday shopping with this playful gift guide for every office personality. Thoughtful, funny, and practical ideas to match your colleagues’ quirks, making Christmas gifting a breeze.

It’s that time of year when the office transforms into a chaotic mix of Christmas cheer and awkward gift exchanges. As Secret Santa assignments circulate and everyone claims “no budget this year”, you know the real challenge is finding the perfect gift that will make your co-workers laugh, appreciate you, and maybe forgive you for those missed deadlines. 

The Boss (The Decision Maker)

This person’s calendar is busier than a barista during morning rush hour. They love staying on top of things—and don’t mind reminding everyone else too! The Mi Temperature and Humidity Monitor Pro from Authorised Mi Store is perfect for keeping them sharp and on time, and their workspace just the right mix of cool and comfortable. And for those rare moments of peace, the A Small Tree in the East from Slow Green gives them a excuse to slow down.

The Office Bestie (Project Partner-in-Crime)

From pulling all-nighters to last-minute deadline dashes, your Office Bestie is the ultimate ride-or-die. Why not repay their endless support with Rituals’ mini perfume collection? It’s like giving them a different scent for every chaotic workday, because who doesn’t need to smell fabulous while surviving yet another 5pm meeting on a Friday? Or, if they need some serious R&R after all those emergency TEAMS calls, Rituals' bath and shower products will make them feel like they’re at a spa... even if they're still thinking about that overdue PowerPoint presentation.

The Wellness Guru (Green Juices and Yoga Enthusiast)

They’ve invited you to yoga. Twice. You always promise to go... next time. Their lunch consists of things you can’t pronounce, and they constantly remind everyone to drink water. A Mugwort Foot Bath from Kin Teck Tong is just what they need after a long day of downward dogs—offering immediate relief for aching, tired feet, while stimulating meridian points to help re-balance the body. Throw in some Adidas crew socks or a shopper bag, and you might even score a personal invite to join their next juice cleanse.

The Office Clown (The Life of Every Meeting)

This colleague turns every meeting into a stand-up comedy special. They’re the reason cat filters are banned on video calls and somehow, icebreakers always go off-script. Brighten their day (and desk) with a Funko Pop from Gifts Greetings that’s just as quirky and vibrant as they are. Or, help them wear their humour on their sleeve (literally!) with a UNIQLO UT graphic tee that shows off their fun personality, from the boardroom to the breakroom. Wherever they go, they’ll always remind the team that work can be a lot more fun when you add a little laughter!

The HR Hero (The Office Peacekeeper)

Managing people, policies, and the occasional drama, they’re the glue holding the office together. A box of Awfully Chocolate truffles gives them a well-earned moment of sweetness, while a Coffee Bean gift card ensures they’re always fuelled for the next round of employee feedback forms. Without them, the office would spiral faster than your last team-building retreat.

The Finance Whizz (The Budget Whisperer)

“Can we justify this in the budget?” Precision and practicality rule their world, which is why the Logitech Pop Mouse from Courts is perfect for navigating those endless spreadsheets. With its vibrant colours, it might just make crunching numbers a little bit more fun. And when the figures still don’t quite add up, they can swap their excel sheets for a mask sheet! Let them recharge with Innisfree’s Energy Mask set, filled with natural ingredients to refresh and revive their skin after a long day of number wrangling. We just hope you didn’t spend too much, because they’ll know exactly how much it costs.

The Workaholic (Emails at Midnight)

If you've ever received an email from them at 2AM, you know exactly who we’re talking about. They’ve never missed a deadline, and their "Out of Office" is more of a friendly suggestion. Help them unwind (or at least try to) with 21ST CENTURY Goodnight Melatonin Sugar-free Tea Bags Blended with Chamomile Flowers from Watsons, but let’s be honest, they’ll probably power through them. Or, keep their caffeine kicks going with a Stainless steel Insulated Bottle from MUJI that’s perfect for keeping their coffee hot through those long, sleepless nights. You might even earn an honourable mention in their next midnight email!

Celebrate Everyone

This holiday season, celebrate the personalities of your colleagues with gifts that reflect their quirks, because it’s those little traits that make work a more enjoyable place to be. And the best part? You can find everything you need at Jem, all in one go! With options to suit every personality under one roof, holiday shopping has never been easier. Here’s hoping the next office party brings more laughs, great snacks, and far fewer 9AM meetings!
