New Delhi: The festive season is just around the corner, and with the cosiness comes the warmth and urge to celebrate the festive season even closer to your loved ones. It is the time when we meet one another to celebrate joy and new beginnings with warm and thoughtful gifts, for colleagues, gifts that are not too personal yet appropriate for their daily use can be a good idea to welcome the holiday season.
Choosing a Christmas gift for colleagues can be surprisingly tricky; you need to plan well to gift something not too personal, yet something that can come in use easily and well-thought-out. This year, the gifting trend is all about thoughtful, practical and mindful gifting that are desk-friendly and small luxuries to add to your everyday work mode.
1. Scented candles
A soothing candle with lavender, sandalwood or eucalyptus may help calm the stress days at work and help them find peace between the juggle of multiple tasks. Opt for soy-based candles; they last longer and are sustainable for a thoughtful gift idea. There are a lot of brands like Rosemoore, Nestasia, FNP and more.
2. Desk plants
Plants like snake plant, ZZ Plants, pothos, money plant and acacia can survive in low light and less water. They are a great addition to your workplace desk and enhance the beauty while improving the air quality.
3. Luxury hand cream and lip balm
Dry winter hands and lips can make anyone annoyed. A hand cream or a lip chap can be a great addition to your Christmas gift list. Look for shea butter formulas for luxury yet comfort to your skin. You can choose from good brands like Laniege, The Body Shop, Nivea and more.
4. Personalised stationery kit
Think engraved pens, customised notebooks and monogrammed planners, it is perfect for that one organised colleague who loves to keep it up to the mark always. Choose neutral tones like olive, charcoal and beige.
5. Premium chocolates
Gifting chocolate can be a gourmet treat for your colleagues, opt for artisanal, nut clusters or exotic flavours boxes. Try something trendy and new, like Matcha bites, Korean honey-butter almonds and Belgian pralines.
These picks strike a perfect balance between thoughtful and office appropriate and can make your Christmas celebrations extra special. They’re practical, aesthetic, and festive without being overly personal.
