10 thoughtful gifts for every type of co-worker

Some families gather around the kitchen, but most families we imagine would get together to share the enjoyment of TV entertainment. With the Apple TV 4K, you will be able to watch award-winning Apple Original programmes as well as browse through a great list of films and television series. Perfect for entertaining the whole family during the holiday season.

A scarf always comes in handy in cold climates, or in an office with arctic tundra air conditioning. And this luxurious option from Saint Laurent is perfect to keep the warm and snuggly thanks to its knotted wool composition. Beyond just being practical—when worn five days a week in the office—it’s also undeniably stylish, with a macramé fringe that will add an extra touch to a monochrome look.

The festive season calls for a new holiday scent, and if you’re looking for one that embraces the joy and thrill of Christmas, then look no further. Salvatore Ferragamo has just released a new deluxe edition of the Signorina Eau de Parfum, and it’s everything you could have dreamed of this Christmas. Here, the unique fruity and floral scent boasts a blend of jasmine and pannacotta, that fuses with vibrant pink pepper notes and the dewy petals of rose and peony to then unleash a subtle trail of Patchouli and Musk.  Crafted to transport the senses through both heritage and modernity, the fragrance also arrives in a beautiful festive snow white glass flacon, presented in an iconic red box glowing with dazzling lights for an extra touch of glamour.

What better way to put across the subliminal message of “please take down these notes,” than with a sophisticated set of notebooks from Cartier? These are handsomely bounded in calfskin, with palladium and golden finish, stamped with the Cartier signature in the legendary “Double C” monogram. What’s not to love?

For someone who appreciates the art and theatrics of drinking tea, this exclusive gift set by TWG Tea is the perfect present. Packaged in an elaborately designed branded box, the box contains, TWG Tea’s exclusive Red Christmas Tea, a theine-free red tea blended with a festival of flavours and spices, Classic Teabag Selection, a classic teabag assortment that includes English Breakfast Tea, French Earl Grey and Chamomile, TWG Tea Scoop and a Disposable Cotton Filter. Rest assured, this will definitely make the tea connoisseur a happy camper this Christmas.

It’s a no-brainer that anything coffee-related will appeal to that one co-worker who can’t live without her daily cuppa. Within this set, you’ll find not one but two fine-flavoured coffee beans— Marocchissimo Signature Nomad collection and November Moon Coffee — as well as a Buffalo Horn Scoop, a Vanilla Bean Grinder, Cinnamon Stick Biscuits, Traditional Bread Sticks, the Song of Saba Coffee Candle and a Salted Butter Caramel Spread.

Looking youthful begins with healthy, hydrated, and radiant skin. And this high-performance and bestselling essence probably need no introduction at this point. Enter SK-II’s iconic Pitera™ Essence. Packed with a high concentration of Pitera™, a natural bio ingredient cultured exclusively in Japan, the essence fights the appearance of uneven skin and dark spots, provides anti-oxidant effects by removing surface free radicals that contribute to the appearance of skin ageing, all while reducing that oily slick on your skin and makes pores visibly smaller. This season, SK-II has also given its bottle a facelift, with the festive bottles arriving in bright shades of neon green and red.

We all have that one colleague who’s always on her phone. And while she doesn’t need more gadgets, there is one thoughtful and practical gift that she will definitely appreciate this Christmas. Peep this wireless charging station. Great for Apple users, this charging station allows you to charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple Pencil, and Airpods, all at the same time. It may look simple, but rest assured, it will definitely come in handy for someone who’s always on her devices.

Who doesn’t love a pair of stylish and comfy sneakers? This pair from Puma is renowned for its timeless appeal and offers a knowing nod to 1970’s style. The sneakers also feature AMI’s signature AMI de Coeur symbol merged with the PUMA stamp.

The co-worker who has everything will be hard to surprise, so perhaps something off-kilter will do. This attention-grabbing phone case by Casetify comes rendered with a drawing of The Ladies Flower, and it’s one of those tongue-in-cheek phone cases that will spark some interesting conversations.
