Five Most Embarrassing Gifts to Give a Colleague


When it comes to workplace gifting and holiday gift ideas for women or men there are a few things that you will need to be aware of. First of all you should never buy anything too expensive, and you need to understand that workplace gifts are more of a gesture than anything else.

You're not aiming to give something that your co-worker will remember for the rest of their lives Instead you will be filling the holidays and even birthday parties with somewhat memorable events.

That being said, try to avoid these five embarrassing gifts that you could give a colleague:

  1. Personalized Gifts: Even if you think the gift you provided is cute, or perhaps meaningful to your co-worker, it will more than likely be regifted at some point, and it may even be regifted to you. The last thing you want is to find someone else with your monogrammed gift.
  2. Clothing: It is okay to give your coworkers a jacket or perhaps a t-shirt, but you never want to give them full outfit items. For instance it would be a terrible idea to give them a pair of pants or underwear. It is a mistake to assume you know anything about their particular style, and it could be a severe insult to them.
  3. Adult Items: Any items that you give away as a gift in the office should be G rated, or in other words make sure that everything you buy is suitable for anyone that sees it.
  4. Useless Gifts: Okay, we'll admit that some gifts might seem cool, but if it's not something you would use yourself, do you really want to give it to your co-worker? No, no one is going to use the digital camera/mug combo, so forget about it.
  5. Decorations: People have their own standards as fair as their decorations go. You do not want to assume to know what your co-workers want, and this assumption in itself can be quite embarrassing.
