There are many thoughtful thank you gifts that you can give to your co-workers. Some of these gifts include a personalized card, a small gift basket, or even some flowers.
A personalized card is a great way to say thank you to your co-workers. There are many different ways that you can personalize the card such as adding a picture of the person, or sharing memories of past experiences together.

Small But Most Thoughtful Thank You Gifts For Co-workers
A Funny Mug!
You can’t go wrong with a funny mug. I mean, come on—it’s the gift that keeps on giving. It’s like a guaranteed smile, every time they have a cup of coffee or tea at work! It also helps them remember you when they drink their beverage of choice and see your witty gift.
Mugs are an excellent way to brighten someone’s day and show them you appreciate them in the office (or out of it). Send one over to your coworker with some warm coffee and enjoy the results!
A Gift Card for Lunch!
Did you know that most people eat out four times a week? Did you also know that a gift card for lunch is less than $15 and can be used at over 100 different restaurants? The best part about giving someone a gift card for lunch is that it can be used immediately, unlike some other gifts which may take weeks or months to use. In addition, a gift card for lunch never goes out of style!
The Best Tea Set!
If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift, tea is a great way to show your co-worker that you care. A tea set is perfect for any occasion and anyone!
The best part about giving someone a tea set is that they’ll be able to use it over and over again. If you have time before the holidays roll around, look into getting them a fancy new tea pot or kettle so that they can get started brewing their favorite blend right away!
Snacks From Across the Globe!
These snacks are a great way to show your appreciation for the hard work your co-workers put into the company. They’re also a lighthearted, fun way to grab a laugh during stressful meetings—which is especially helpful if you have someone in the room who’s all too serious or uptight.
Snacks from around the globe include:
- Pretzels from Germany
- Rice crackers from Japan (also called senbei)
- Churros from Mexico (like doughnut sticks)
A Desk Plant!
If you want to add some greenery to your office, then a desk plant is the perfect gift. The benefits of bringing plants into the workplace are many. Plants can help improve air quality, reduce stress and anxiety, and even improve focus! There is no shortage of options for desk plants: you can choose from small cacti or succulents that only need minimal care to larger indoor trees with varying needs (like the popular fiddle leaf fig).
For a more personal touch, consider giving your co-worker a personalized terrarium or succulent garden kit so they can create their own mini ecosystem.
A Gorgeous Tumbler with Flowers!
- Flowers are a great way to say thank you, and if your co-worker is an avid traveler or simply loves to drink coffee, this beautiful glass tumbler with flowers will be perfect for her!
- It’s perfect for the office because it can double as a mug for hot beverages.
- The glass is thick enough that the liquid inside stays warm longer and doesn’t burn your hand when you hold it.
- This mug comes in different designs, so there’s one that fits your style.
A Mug Warmer/Coaster!
The mug warmer/coaster is a great gift for anyone. You can use it for any kind of hot or cold beverage, even if they’re not mugs. It’s also highly versatile in that it can be used by people of all ages and genders, so you don’t have to worry about whether or not the recipient will like what you give them!
Cute Coffee Cup Stickers!
I’m sure you have seen these cute coffee cup stickers on social media, and they are a great way to personalize a gift. These stickers are a fun way to show someone you care about them and want to be thoughtful.
You can get them in any color or design you want! They also come in different sizes so if your co-worker has a small or large mug they will still fit perfectly!
Self-Stirring Coffee Mug!
If you’re looking for a gift that your co-worker will love, the self stirring coffee mug is the way to go. This mug features an internal stirrer that automatically mixes hot and cold liquids together, making it easy for even the laziest at work (or home) to enjoy their morning beverage.
Unlike other stirring options, this one doesn’t require batteries or electricity. It’s also dishwasher safe and can be used for tea as well as coffee or hot chocolate!
The best thing about this gift? You don’t have to worry about purchasing something too big since it has a small footprint—it won’t take up much room on your desk or in your cupboard at home!
A Gift Card for Their Favorite Place to Shop Online or Offline!
Gift cards are a surefire way to say thank you to any co-worker who has been helpful and kind. If you’re looking for an extra thoughtful gift, consider purchasing a gift card from their favorite store or restaurant. For example, if your coworker loves going thrift shopping, consider buying them a $20 gift card from their favorite online secondhand retailer.
Or if they have an obsession with coffee shops, surprise them with a $25 gift card for their favorite local café!
If the person happens to love dining out as much as I do (and I mean really love eating out), then consider getting them a $50-$100 Gift Card for one of their favorite restaurants in town! This will be especially appreciated if they’re always bringing snacks into work — whether it’s because they forgot theirs at home or just because they’re forgetful like me 🙂
Digital Thermometer and Hygrometer!
If you’re like me, then you might find it a little difficult to get up every morning and head into the office. But if you have a few colleagues who make it easier for you, then getting out of bed might be easier. While these gifts are small, they can pack a big punch in terms of appreciation for your co-workers.
- Use a digital thermometer and hygrometer together: The first step is to take your temperature (with the thermometer). Then use the hygrometer to measure how humid it is in your room or office space. This will give you an idea of how comfortable or uncomfortable everyone feels while they’re working during different seasons or times of day.*
- Compare temperatures between two locations: Did someone forget their coat at home? Use both devices to compare current indoor temperatures with outdoor ones so that they’ll know whether or not they need something warmer before heading back out into cold weather!
Portable Charger with an Air Pump!
A portable charger with an air pump is a great gift for anyone, whether they need to charge their phone while hiking or when they’re blowing up sports balls at the beach. This portable charger can also be used in cars and laptops, so it’s very versatile. A great choice for those who are always on the go!
Photo Coasters!
Photo coasters are a great gift for any occasion. They’re practical and thoughtful, but don’t cost much to make. Plus, they can be personalized with a picture of you and the recipient on the front of each coaster!
To make these, you’ll want to find some cork tiles at your local craft store (you can also buy them online). You’ll also need Mod Podge (available at most craft stores) and some printed pictures from your computer or photo paper. After that, just follow these steps:
- Spread out the cork tiles on a table so that they aren’t overlapping each other; this will help prevent the Mod Podge from seeping under each individual tile when you apply it later on.
- Decide which photos you want to use as coasters; place them face down so that their backs aren’t showing off! If there’s any glare or glare-like reflection coming off of them onto other pieces of paper around your workspace area (which happens sometimes), be sure to cover those up with something else like another piece of cardboard just in case.*
Mug With a Succulent on It!
This is a great gift for your co-worker who loves plants and succulents, but doesn’t have much time to take care of one. Succulents are low maintenance, so they’re perfect for people with busy schedules. And they come in many different colors and shapes! You can arrange them in so many ways: on a table, on a shelf or even hanging from the ceiling.
Succulents are fun to grow—it’s easy to give them some indirect sunlight and water once a week—and they look beautiful! The recipient will enjoy filling their home with these cute little plants without having to worry about keeping them alive for very long (or at all). It’s also an environmentally friendly choice because you’re recycling old mugs that would otherwise go into the landfill (where they could take up space for years).
Cute Washi Tape Set with a Personalized Notebook and Pencils.
This cute Washi Tape Set with a Personalized Notebook and Pencils is a perfect gift for your co-workers, since it’s both fun and practical. Washi tape can be used for wrapping presents, decorating items and creating fun crafts. You can either write something on the notebook or leave it blank to let your recipient get creative with their own designs.
You can also use this set as a gift wrap idea by adding some candy or small toys inside the box to make them even more memorable!
Bonsai Seed Starter Kit With Pot and Trimmer Set.
Bonsai is a Japanese art form that involves growing miniature trees in pots. It’s a hobby that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, and is also something you can do with your children or grandchildren. Bonsai trees are beautiful, but they require constant care and attention to maintain their health—and the best way to learn how to care for bonsai is by taking a class or buying yourself some books on the subject.
With this gift, you’ll get both a starter kit with everything needed to start growing your own bonsai tree (including soil mix, fertilizer tablets and an instructional DVD) as well as an easy-to-use trimmer set so that you can keep your tiny forest looking good!
Even a small token of your appreciation can brighten someone’s day.
You’re probably thinking, “Yeah, but I don’t have a lot of money to spend on my co-workers.” But even if you only have a little bit of cash to spend on thank-yous, it can go a long way. A small token of appreciation can make all the difference for someone who’s feeling down in their work situation.
So let’s get into some ideas for how best to show your coworker or boss that you care about them—and how best to say thank-you when someone helps you out!
