1. Butter Biscuit Tin

A resealable tin filled with butter biscuits offers a crisp, ready-to-eat snack for mid-afternoon slumps. The classic flavor pairs well with coffee or tea without overpowering the break room. The tin doubles as storage once the treats are gone. It’s portioned just right for sharing or savoring solo during long calls. Perfect for the teammate who keeps a secret stash as fuel for deadlines or who just likes to snack.

2. Chocolate minibars

Surprise their sweet tooth with mini chocolate bars in different flavors, just the right indulgence to power through late-afternoon slumps. They vanish solo during sneaky breaks or melt into hot drinks.

Chocolate is the ultimate gift for solo stressed workers in the Philippines. Shop for a chocolate minibar bundle and give 2-3 pieces each to your coworkers for a budget-friendly gift.

3. Coffee stirrer

Ditch the dull plastic sticks for a stylish coffee stirrer set that add joys to every sip. It’s the jolt that your coworker needs to power through late-afternoon slumps and endless Zoom meetings. Tuck one in their mug with a sassy “Stir it, don’t quit it!” and watch the magic brew.

4. Cable Tie Wraps

Behind every chaotic desk is a nest of chargers plotting world domination. This cheap but practical gift can wrangle cords in seconds and save sanity during virtual huddles. Available in different colors and designs.

5. Crochet Potted Plant

For the plantita who’s murdered every succulent under office AC, gift a crochet potted plant that stays in perpetual bloom. Hand-stitched yarn in bright colors, zero watering, and 100% judgment-proof. It brightens any desk, whether placed in the office or at home.

6. Desk calendar

Turn every desk glance into a tail-wagging treat with the Papemelroti Pawsome Desk Calendar. Whimsical illustrations of playful pups and clever cat quips like “Have a Pawsome Day” or “Think Pawsitive” pop off each page. The compact stand fits snugly on any workplace. Made from 100% recycled paper, it doubles as a jotter for quick notes.

7. Sanitizer spray

Banish germs with a pocket sanitizer spray that’s equal parts lifesaver and mood-lifer. The slim bottle makes it easy to carry, making it ready to mist away keyboard cooties or post-MRT jitters in one spritz.

8. Hand Towel Gift Set

For an affordable yet fancy-looking gift, get a hand towel set bundled with a tiny soap bar, linen spray, or candle. The soft, quick-dry towel pairs perfectly with the tiny add-on for instant refreshment after lunch or long meetings. Everything tucks into a reusable pouch – an ideal gift for the officemate who deserves nice things.

9. Personalized Sippy Mug

Keep drinks hot or cold in a stylish borosilicate glass sippy mug. The heat-resistant glass pairs with a snug faux leather sleeve etched with their name to avoid “Kaninong mug ba ito?” dramas. A spill-proof lid clicks shut for worry-free commutes or desk-side sips. It’s cheap and practical, something that your coworker can use everyday.

10. Engraved Wooden Phone Stand

Prop up their screen with a wooden phone stand that’s sturdy, sleek, and secretly sentimental. Crafted from smooth natural wood, it cradles the phone at a perfect angle for video calls or social media scrolling. The front panel can be engraved with their name or even a tiny photo etched right into the grain.

It’s a desk must-have for the coworker who loves listening to podcast or music or watching background clips while working.

11. Artisan Soap

For a fancy-looking gift that won’t break the bank, shop for locally made artisan soap bars, handcrafted with natural ingredients. The gentle lather cleanses without drying, leaving skin soft and subtly scented. It turns routine handwashing into a quiet moment of care. It’s the everyday luxury your coworker will surely appreciate.

12. Keyboard Cleaner Brush

A must-have for any serious worker, a keyboard cleaner brush is important for sweeping away crumbs and dust. The soft bristles sweep between keys without scratching, while the compact handle fits in any drawer. It tackles snack debris in seconds, and the lightweight design makes it easy to stash or share.

13. Japanese-Style Portable Cutlery Set

Pack lunch with flair using a portable Japanese-style wooden cutlery set. The smooth spoon, fork, and chopsticks feel light in hand and gentle on takeout containers. A compact carry pouch keeps everything clean and ready for on-the-go meals.

Just like the regular cutlery sets, but extra fancy. It’s the eco-chic upgrade your coworker will whip out proudly at every team lunch.

15. Funny & Witty Office Sticker Pack

Unleash desk personality with a funny & witty office sticker pack loaded with snarky one-liners. Peel-and-stick vinyl squares slap onto laptops, water bottles, or planners with quotes like “Silently Screaming Inside” or “Introvert Mode.” It’s the low-key humor that lightens your coworker’s mood despite the heavy workload.

Final Tips for Office Gift-Giving Glory

• Group buy? Split a ₱500 care package (tumbler + snacks + sticker) for the boss—everyone chips in ₱100.
• Avoid awkwardness: Skip scented lotions (allergies) or anything too personal.
