Gift ideas for 3 work colleagues needed please

[mckenzie]

I am so very lucky as I work part-time with 3 really lovely, funny, genuine, caring ladies and I'd like to get them each a small gift for Christmas.
But I am flummoxed as to what to get.

I'd like to spend between £5 and £10 on each. Two are early 50s, the other is in her 30s, a young mum and quite trendy.

Any ideas gratefully received.

If it is not a gift giving culture at work it could make things uncomfortable. How about stocking up the biscuit tin, buying some nice tea or a plant.

As a previous poster says, they may feel obligated to reciprocate, so I'd suggest a couple of token presents.

Bath bomb from lush £6 - I appreciate that not everyone likes them.

Xmas socks 3 for £5 from Tesco - this is my go to generic Xmas gift.

Hand cream - the body shop have nice ones.

Stationery - accessorize has nice pens and people always need something to write with.

I agree with pestilence; unless there's a culture of gift-buying among you all, it would be better to do something communal, like a nice tin of biscuits, or maybe new mugs and teapot or something if you need those - something everyone can share.

Do people usually give gifts? I would feel totally stressed if my colleague did this and I had to reciprocate.

I would either say something home made or something communal for use at work (nice teas/coffees/biscuits/)

It's more work trying to find a small present in the massed sea of "stuff" that's out there.
I'd be tempted to buy each a lottery ticket which at least has the hope that it could be the best present ever. Attach to something pretty like Christmas soap if the card isn't enough.

Revealall - I love that idea. Some home made biscuits and a lottery ticket.

Thank you everyone for your input.

Lottery ticket and biscuits sounds perfect
