There’s always a reason to be in the giving spirit during the holiday season.
As an HR pro, your plate has been piled high this year as you’ve navigated layoffs, wage pressures, and everything in between. So, treat your colleagues (or yourself!) to a gift that may spark joy in their busy days.
Computer carriers. Is there an RTO in your company’s future? Schlepping a work laptop around isn’t nearly as bad with a new laptop sleeve or tote bag, and sustainable bag company Baggu has you covered.
More mugs. Who couldn’t use another mug? OK, maybe you don’t need another, but who could say no to this cute sloth, eco-friendly travel cup from The Future is Bamboo? Whether your go-go juice is coffee or tea, it’ll stay piping hot throughout the morning commute.
Tune it out. An HR pro’s to-do list is never-ending, but with a pair of noise-canceling headphones, they’ll be able to get things done. We like that this option from Sony is made from recycled plastics.
Hydration station. If your colleague constantly forgets to drink water, they may benefit from a bigger sippy cup. Drinkware company Stanley’s viral (and notoriously large) water bottles will ensure they never go thirsty again.
Let ’em choose. If you’re indecisive (like this reporter), you may like the idea of letting your colleagues choose their own gifts. Corporate gifting platform Goody lets you do just that—just choose the amount you’d like to spend, and your colleagues can pick from a variety of trinkets and tchotchkes to jazz up their desks.
