Office Gift Ideas: Presents for Coworkers and Bosses Alike

The Vornado Flippi V6 is a tiny desk fan that punches above its size for personal cooling. In our testing, it was quiet enough for calls and the tilt head made it easy to aim airflow exactly where you need it. It won’t move air across a whole room, and the bottom rotary switch can be awkward—sometimes requiring two hands. If you notice rattling after long use, reseating the grille or repositioning it on a firm surface usually helps.

If your coworker’s neck needs a break, the Nulaxy Laptop Stand raises the screen, and its open aluminum design helps with cooling. In our testing, the foldable, compact frame was easy to stash, and the build felt solid for ultrabooks and everyday office laptops. Just know you may notice wobble when typing on the laptop itself, stiff joints initially, and less stability for very heavy or unbalanced gaming rigs at $38.81.

For the eco‑minded note‑taker, Rocketbook’s Pro 2.0 feels like a premium notebook thanks to its hardcover vegan leather and clever app scanning that fires notes straight to the cloud. In our testing, the wipe‑clean pages cut down paper waste, though the slick surface takes a few days to get used to. Our experience shows pages and pens can show wear over time, and some features may be inconsistent. Keep a microfiber cloth handy and let ink dry briefly for best results.

For coworkers who love staying organized, the Leuchtturm1917 Medium Hardcover packs numbered pages, a table of contents, and a handy back pocket. In our testing, the durable cover held up to commuting, and the paper played nicely with most pens, including some fountain pens. Be aware of occasional ghosting and batch‑to‑batch variability that can cause bleedthrough with wet inks; at $25.50, it’s pricier than basics but worth it for organized note‑takers.

For a classic office gift, the Moleskine Classic Notebook delivers everyday durability with a tough hardcover, elastic closure, and ribbon bookmark. In our testing, the rear pocket is genuinely useful for stashing business cards and loose notes, keeping a bag or desk tidy. Just note the 70 gsm paper can ghost or bleed with gel and fountain pens and quality varies by batch, making it best for ballpoints or fineliners at $26.

The Pilot G2s are a crowd-pleaser in our office for smooth, bold lines and a comfy rubber grip that holds up through long meetings. During our testing, the refillable design and easy-to-find cartridges made them a practical pick, but gel ink can smudge on glossy paper or for lefties before it dries. We’ve seen occasional skipping and the rare ink blob under heat or pressure, so store them tip-up and cap them promptly. For everyday notes and signatures, they’re reliable workhorses.

Want greenery without the watering schedule? During our review, LEGO Succulents hit the sweet spot for desk decor: compact builds that look polished and never wilt, with enough pieces and detail to feel satisfying at $49.99. The step-by-step patterns are a bit repetitive, so building is more relaxing than challenging. While the plastic won’t fool plant purists and customization is limited out of the box, we found it shines as a cheerful, low‑maintenance set that brightens shelves and workstations.

For a desk that needs greenery without fuss, The Sill’s ZZ Plant thrives on neglect—our experience shows watering every few weeks is plenty. It tolerates low to bright indirect light, fitting cubicles and windowed offices alike. Note it’s toxic to pets, and some customers report shipping damage or rough arrivals. At $79, it’s pricier than mass‑market picks, but the low maintenance and resilient nature make it an easy, morale‑boosting gift.

Add cozy vibes without an open flame: the Aurora Candle Warmer Lamp melts wax top‑down, and in our testing it delivered a robust scent throw. The compact, durable metal design fits most jar candles and looks gift‑ready at $29.99 from Walmart, making it ideal for desks and break rooms. Watch for occasional missing bulbs, and note there’s no height adjustment, timer, or dimmer—larger or half‑used jars may need a small shim to get close enough.

Treat the team to Milk Bar’s Assorted Birthday Cookies and you’ll get memorable, offbeat flavors in a gift-ready tin that looks sharp on a conference table. We like that it ships nationwide—great for remote coworkers—but our experience shows delivery hiccups and sluggish customer service can cloud the surprise. Some batches skew very sweet and the price is high for the quantity. To avoid disappointment, order early, add a buffer day, and pair with a handwritten note for extra charm.

Mechanical keyboard fans will appreciate the Keychron K2 Pro’s 84% layout that keeps arrow keys and essentials while freeing desk space. In our testing, flexible connectivity stood out—Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, or USB‑C—and QMK/VIA support made custom layouts and macros a breeze. We did encounter occasional Bluetooth drops and a bit of key chatter, so the 2.4GHz dongle or wired mode is best for mission‑critical work. Production inconsistency can affect switch feel, so buy from a retailer with easy exchanges.

Power users will appreciate the Anker 737’s 140W USB‑C; in our testing it quickly topped up laptops and other high‑draw gear. The 24,000mAh capacity gave multiple phone charges and a laptop refill, and the display shows live wattage and remaining capacity. It’s heavier than phone‑only banks, and some devices may show compatibility or under‑voltage warnings. While a few units develop calibration or premature shutdown quirks, as an office‑to‑travel gift at $109.99, it’s a capable choice.

If your teammate’s laptop cam isn’t cutting it, the Logitech Brio 500 is a sharp upgrade for 1080p meetings with a handy built‑in privacy shutter. In our review, the mics emphasized voices and cut down background noise nicely. On the downside, the mount can feel fragile and the included cable is short, and some users hit software quirks after updates. We recommend a sturdier third‑party mount and a USB extension, plus checking firmware before big calls.

For productivity‑minded coworkers, the Logitech MX Master 3S excels in comfort—our experience shows its ergonomic shape and quiet clicks suit long office sessions. The customizable buttons and side scroll wheel streamline spreadsheets, timelines, and creative apps, making frequent tasks faster and even smoothing cross‑app workflows. Some users report rattly ratchet scrolling, occasional button failures, and mediocre battery under heavy use (recharging every couple weeks), but at $109.99 it’s still a standout daily driver.

Give the coworker who always forgets their coffee a fighting chance with the Ember Smart Mug 2. During our review, it held a precise temperature all day on its charging coaster and the app made dialing in a favorite setting easy. Away from the base, battery life is only about 70–90 minutes, and the interior coating can stain or occasionally flake, so gentle hand‑washing helps. It’s pricey, but for desk-bound sippers, the consistent warmth feels like a daily luxury.

For commuters and desk-sippers alike, the Contigo Autoseal West Loop keeps drinks at temperature for hours and genuinely resists leaks when new—our tests tossed it in bags without drips. The slim shape fits cup holders and feels comfortable to carry. Our experience shows the lid mechanism can stiffen over time and the finish may scratch or peel, especially in the dishwasher, so hand-washing is safest. If durability worries you, consider budgeting for a replacement lid down the line.

If you’ve got a coworker battling plantar fasciitis or long days on their feet, the TheraFlow Dual Foot Massager Roller is a small gift with big relief. In our testing, the solid wooden rollers felt durable and the compact size made it easy to stash under a desk, though sensitive feet may find the pressure a bit intense. We found it can slide on slick floors, so a mat or holding it in place helps. Narrow spacing means alternating feet is often more comfortable than using both at once.
