Christmas Gifts for Coworkers: 30 Funny Picks Under $45 They Will Actually Use

Quick answer: The best Christmas gifts for coworkers are small, useful and a little bit funny: a sarcastic notebook for meeting notes, a desk flip sign, a mug or tumbler for the 3 p.m. slump, or an ugly Christmas sweatshirt for the office party. Below are 30 picks sorted by budget, from $4 stickers to $42 sweatshirts.

Buying for coworkers is tricky. You want something they will actually use, something that will not end up in a desk drawer next to the free stress ball from 2019, and something that will not land you in a meeting with HR. Every gift on this list is made for people who survive pointless meetings, reply-all chains and "quick syncs" for a living.

Prices below are from our store as of October 2026. Orders over $45 ship free in the U.S., so bundling a few small gifts together gets you there fast.

How to Pick a Christmas Gift for a Coworker

• Set a budget and stick to it. Most offices land between $10 and $25 per person. Going way over can make people feel awkward.
• Pick something they will use at their desk. Notebooks, pens, mugs, tumblers and desk signs get used every day. Random knick-knacks do not.
• Match the humor to the person. Our designs range from safe-ish to extra sweary. If you are not sure, go safe-ish.
• Buying for the whole team? Notebooks, badge reels and stickers let you give everyone a different design at the same price.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should you spend on a Christmas gift for a coworker?

Most people spend $10 to $25 per coworker. For a close work friend, $25 to $45 is common. If your office runs a gift exchange, follow its price limit.

What is a good Christmas gift for a coworker you do not know well?

Go with something useful and lightly funny, like a notebook, a pen set or a mug with a safe-ish message. Skip anything personal or extra sweary.

Are funny gifts appropriate for coworkers?

Yes, as long as the joke is about work and not about the person. Jokes about meetings, emails and Mondays are relatable and rarely offend. Save the sweary designs for coworkers you know will laugh.

What can I give my whole team for Christmas?

Notebooks ($9.99), badge reels ($8.99) and stickers ($4) work well because everyone can get a different design at the same price.
