The Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide for Colleagues

The best Christmas gift idea for colleagues? It’s simple: a tasty, whimsical collection of Christmas essentials. Whether they’re hosting Christmas at their home, visiting loved ones or looking to have a quiet celebration, they’ll love a collection of festive must-haves like David Jones’ Food Festive Favourites Hamper. This sublime selection includes Christmas gingerbread, a traditional Christmas pudding, bonbons and more festive delights.

Help your colleague become the envy of the staff cafeteria with a brand-new lunch satchel. Lunch satchels are a great Christmas gift for a co-worker as they serve an essential and practical everyday purpose, but rarely get updated. For a lunch satchel they’ll treasure, The Somewhere Co Lunch Satchel Bonbon comes with an adjustable, removable, strap made from vegan leather. They’ll never want to buy their lunch again.

For a smaller-budget gift, luxury mince pies are a go-to. The flavour, the spices, the hint of whisky – you’ll be hard-pressed to find a colleague who doesn’t appreciate these pies. Made with all butter and with just the right amount of 12-year Glenfiddich single malt scotch whisky, Walkers Whisky Luxury Mince Tarts make for the perfect gift for the festive season.

Help your coworkers capture their best ideas, plan their to-do list and give them a small canvas for phone call scribbles with a notebook update. Practical and stylish, a notebook like the William Morris A5  Linen Effect Journal will strike all the right chords with your colleague, especially if “be more organised” is on their New Year’s resolution list.

Diningware is a classic gift that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. If they love stylish homewares, they’ll love unwrapping a pair of matching bowls like the Ecology Speckle Footed Bowls. These organic-shaped bowls have a high gloss glaze finish with a dimpled, tactile feel. Made of stoneware, the milky white base is offset by a soft, all-encompassing speckle while the foot features an electroplated gold for a luxe finish. Available in a gift-boxed set of 2, these bowls are also a fabulous housewarming gift.

For the wine connoisseur, or if your coworker is a famed host, a bottle of delectable wine is an always-perfect Christmas gift. The secret to gifting wine is to avoid wrapping up anything that’s too niche, obscure or expensive, and instead look to high-quality wines that everyone can enjoy. Enter the Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich, oaky and delightfully aromatic, this Cabernet Sauvignon comes housed in its own luxe wine box. All you need to do is add a ribbon.

For the colleague who loves the spicier delights in life, nothing will make them happier than hot sauce. Hot sauce is also a brilliant Christmas gift for a coworker you don’t know that well as it’s unexpected and acts as a conversation starter. Hot sauces come in all flavours and levels of hotness, from the mild and flavoursome to the impossible-not-to-cry, challenge sauces. For a unique flavour, they’ll pair with every meal, wrap up Fancy Hanks’ Habanero & Carrot Whiskey Hot Sauce. Picture smoky whiskey whispering sweet nothings to spicy habanero, while the carrot adds a touch of veggie charm.
