Gag Gifts and Toys

There are many funny and inexpensive gag gifts and toys that are small enough to be kept on a desktop or in a pocket. If a bad boss is the problem, try giving the gift of an office voodoo kit. Sticking pins into the "boss" voodoo doll can be a remedy for a bad day at the office. Small items like calendars with funny quotes, coffee mugs or posters can also be useful for the person who hates her job.
Stress-Relieving Work Gifts

There are a variety of gifts to help deal with the stress of a bad job. Stress balls, which are small balls that you can squeeze to relieve anger or anxienty, are a good and inexpensive choice. Try a gift of a unique stress ball with a funny shape or quote on it. There are stress balls shaped like little office workers, cell phones and golf balls, among other things. Other stress-alleviating gifts include mini Zen garden toys that can be kept at your desk, aromatherapy diffusers, or even a simple green plant to bring a bit of nature to a sterile office environment.

Office Games

Office games can make a bad day at a horrible job go more quickly. Give the gift of an office game that can be played on a computer desktop. This lets your friend or colleague look like he is just working when, in fact, he is playing "Wack a Boss" on office time. Games such as online sudoku or chess are also great for passing the time and alleviating boredom.
Fool Your Boss Gifts
-
Try giving a gift that makes wasting time at a hated job much easier. There are software programs that let your friend or co-worker fool a boss into thinking she is working when she is actually surfing the net or playing games online. The "anti-boss" key program hides these games and other things on a computer desktop with a single click. Fake "work" desktops are also a great gift for office slackers who hate their jobs.
