Buying for coworkers is its own small art. The gift should feel personal without being too personal, cost about the same as everyone else's, and be something people actually use once the wrapping paper is gone. That usually means a mug on the desk, an ornament for the tree or a tote that goes to the farmers market every Saturday.
Here are 25 Christmas gifts for coworkers under $30, from cozy coffee mugs to a few funny picks for the office white elephant exchange. Every one is an original Bamedys design (created with AI tools and refined by hand), and every one has a version under $30.
Christmas delivery: every piece is made to order, most items are printed in the USA, and most US orders arrive in 7 to 8 business days. For delivery before Christmas in the US, order by December 10 (see our Christmas shipping deadlines for other countries). Shipping is free on every US order, and buying two or more items takes 15% off automatically at checkout.
