Buy coffee mugs at the dollar store and fill them with Christmas candy, wrap in cellophane and tie with a bright ribbon. Your co-workers can have the candy at their desk and then use the mug for coffee at the office.

Find Christmas ornaments for each co-worker. Stick with a theme such as snowmen or Santas. If you are crafty, you can make your own ornaments. Shop Michael's or A.C. Moore craft stores for ideas.

Buy cookie cutters in Christmas-themed shapes. Gather up star, tree and bell shaped cutters to place in a basket with a pouch of Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix and a gentle suggestion that your co-workers make their own holiday goodies. This is an especially nice gift if your co-worker has small kids who might enjoy baking.
