Different teams, different vibes! As the holiday season approaches, the pressure to find the perfect gifts for coworkers can sometimes be overwhelming. Fear not, because we've curated a list of trendy and thoughtful presents tailored to various job categories. Whether you're shopping for a product manager, UX designer, HR professional, analyst, programmer, or tech support guru, we've got you covered.

Product Manager Presents:

At One Model, we have amazing Product Managers. I know they are always looking for ways to stay organized and love interacting with their peers. Therefore, I think these might be great presents for these coworkers.

  • Desk Calendar - Sometimes old fashion project management gets the ideas flowing. 
  • Moleskin Notebook - A product manager will never hesitate to take down a note in style. 
  • Monitor Memo Board - When you have a lot of input to juggle, sometimes you want your notes close at hand. 
  • Virtual Team Building Experience - Foster team spirit with a virtual team-building work activity. Since we have a virtual team, we tried this service. 

UX Designer Delights:

To thank your designers for all their hard work, why not get them something to stimulate their creativity?

  • Book - Fuel their artistic soul with a beautifully crafted book of design inspiration. Universal Principles of UX and The Design Everyday Things are highly revered options. 
  • Digital Drawing Tablet - Boost their creativity with a state-of-the-art digital drawing tablet. 
  • Design Thinking Card Game - Spark creativity with a game that challenges designers to think outside the box. 

HR Heroes' Treats:

HR is the bread and butter of any company, so we thought these little bits and pieces would be perfect:

  • Human Resources Shirt - Growing companies are doing a lot of recruiting and an HR team member can appreciate this shirt. 
  • Online Course Subscription - Invest in their professional development with an online course subscription. Don't have much to spend? Send them to the HR Regulation Masterclass.

Analyst Appreciation:

  • Funny Mug - Analysts and data scientists like to stay sharp. You can't go wrong with a fun mug. 
  • Premium Coffee/Tea Sampler - Speaking of stay sharp, that mug needs some fuel. Check out this world-traveled coffee sampler and this gourmet tea collection. 
  • Data Visualization Art - Telling the story visually is an art, and books like this are definitely inspirational.
  • Cool earplugs - To identify key insights sometimes you need to block out the world.
  • Sudoku puzzle book - Dare I say that Sudoku is one of the most fun ways to play with numbers. If you want to get more than a book, check out this sudoku game. 

Programmer Picks:

If you are a programmer, you'll know programmers can never have enough coffee or goofy socks. This is why our gift list is filled with these things, along with some other goodies.

  • Coding Socks - Keeping your feet warm in style. Check these fun ones out. 
  • Computer Programmer Coffee Mug - Like analysts, programmers also like to keep sharp lest they miss a semi-colon. Here is a fun mug.

  • Laptop Cooling Pad - Keep their tech cool and stylish with this cooling pad for their laptop. 

Tech Support Treasures:

If you're the one employee who feels like they call their tech support person a little too much, why not get them something sweet from our list below:

  • Funny tech support shirt - Here is a great idea for the holidays. 
  • Humorous coffee mug - Give them a reason to smile in the morning with a fun gift.
  • Coffee Mug Warmer - Don't let their coffee get cold while trying to figure out your issue. 

In the department of thoughtful gestures, small gifts for coworkers can make a big impact.

These carefully curated presents for coworkers not only show your appreciation but also reflect the unique interests and roles within your team. So, dive into the joy of gifting, and spread smiles across the office. Whether giving for the holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, or just because, you can't go wrong with one of these gifts.
