It’s that time of year…..you have to pick up random gifts for folks and you’re stumped on what to get.  And you know as well as I do, that getting gifts for your co-workers can be kinda tricky!  Need some help?

A recent survey asked people to name the best Christmas gifts they’ve gotten from a co-worker, and office supplies somehow made the list.  Here are the top five .

1.  Gift cards.  Which is nice because they’re easy.  25% of the people surveyed said it’s their favorite thing they’ve gotten from a co-worker before.

2.  Food or alcohol, 11%.  So a bottle of wine might work.

3.  A gadget, or something else that has to do with technology, 8%.

4.  Office supplies, 5%.  (So apparently if you gave Dave in accounting a three-hole-punch last year, you nailed it.) 

5.  Something homemade, 3%.

The survey also found that 93% of the people who plan to give a co-worker a gift said it’s because they consider them a “friend”, not just someone they work with.
