A quirky mug is a safe office gift for practically anyone.
Novelty office gifts are humorous gifts about or designed for office life, that should make being at work a slightly more pleasant environment. Nowadays an abundance of choices exist for possible gift items for office-workers. Many of these gifts require that the receiver, and her co-workers, have a good sense of humor.
Quirky Mugs
Most office workers often have a mug of something on their desk at all times, which makes a fun and quirky mug a great gift. There is a wide variety of mugs with different designs, so it is possible to find one especially appropriate for the person you're shopping for. For example, if he has co-workers borrow his mug far too often, give him a "plug mug." This mug has a plastic plug to pull out and hide, so the mug can't be used without it. Other mugs have the molecule for caffeine written out on them or witty slogans like, "I can only please one person per day."
Fun Toys
Instead of a classic Japanese Zen garden, purchase something similar which will get your colleague thinking of her next summer vacation. A miniature "beach break" or "beach garden" is a small, square, wooden tray filled with sand, with a wooden beach chair, umbrella, pail, shovel and seashells. This toys lets you relax at the office, imagining that you're actually on vacation. Alternatively, get a toy that truly encapsulates the phrase "monkey business." Purchase monkey action figures in suits, accompanied by desks, file cabinets and office chairs--your colleague can have fun making some mischief in the monkeys' imaginary office.
Wall Hangings
If the person who you're shopping for works in a casual environment, consider giving him a wall hanging with an amusing saying printed on it. There's a wide variety of slogans to choose from, and many of them comment directly on office life. For example, purchase one which says: "You don't have to be crazy to work here. We train you," or "I love my job. (Shoot me now)," or "To err is human, to blame it on someone else shows management potential."
