A good office gift that your colleagues at work will find motivating can be a funny sticker to stick on to their laptop, a jolly looking pen holder to hold stationery (but who uses that much of stationery these days?!), or even a mere sandwich with the filling outside. Now that’s funny.
But not desk worthy. At least not for long enough. Unless your colleague happens to be a biochemist.
While a sticker is a good – no, great – and is an affordable gift that colleagues can look at and remember you by, it definitely doesn’t fall in the very useful category of good office gifts.
