5 Stylish Office Kris Kringle Gifts Will Make The CEO Your New Best Friend (For Under $40)

Views: 21

Of all the gifts on our list come the holiday season, the office Kris Kringle is one of the most puzzling. Best case scenario, you’re in charge of divvying up the list and can give yourself your office bestie. Worst case scenario: You find yourself assigned the head of HR, CEO, or the guy from IT who you only know by Teams profile picture.

Thankfully, most offices now put maximum spending limits on Kris Kringle gifts – but that doesn’t mean you want to gift your colleagues (much less the head of HR) frivolous tat that will end up in landfill. 

The right office, Kris Kringle, will put your best and most generous professional foot forward: it’s generically thoughtful, speaks to your taste (and confidence in theirs) and won’t cost you the earth. After all, you’ve got your close friends and family to spoil. And remember, not everyone celebrates capital “C” Christmas — to avoid making a faux pas be mindful of anything overly themed.

At ELLE, we’ve put our heads together and brought you a list of office Kris Kringle gifts that cost less than $40 and scream “thoughtful employee with taste in spades”.
