How to choose coworker & office gifts
Start with how they live. End with one excellent object.
- Write one true sentence about coworkers before you browse.
- Lock a budget band so prestige and filler stop competing.
- Prefer daily-use upgrades over novelty that dies in a week.
- Open a specialist desk only after the decision is clear.
Budget bands
The workhorse band: useful mid gifts that still feel chosen.
Close relationships — upgrade something they already use weekly.
Hero gifts only when you know size, scent, platform, or model cold.
