A good work friend is a highly specific relationship. They know which meeting could have been an email. They have seen your face when someone says “circle back.” They may know more about your coworkers than your actual family does.
That deserves a better gift than a generic desk plaque.
For the coworker who actually gets shit done
The Bitches Get Shit Done Funny Mug is useful, inexpensive, and very easy to justify as workplace-appropriate in the right workplace.
For the coworker at the end of their rope
The All My Remaining Fucks Funny Notepad turns every to-do list into a status update. It is also small enough to pair with coffee, candy, or a gift card.
For the person with audacity
The Audacity Funny Sticker is ideal for the coworker who has strong opinions about management, reply-all emails, or people who schedule meetings at 4:30 on Friday.
For your actual work bestie
If this is the person you text during meetings and debrief with afterward, add the Bad Influence Funny Friendship Card. It gets across the affection without suddenly making your office relationship weirdly sentimental.
A note about office humor
Know the recipient and know the culture. A gift that kills in your group chat may not be the thing to unwrap in front of the CEO. When in doubt, save the most inappropriate jokes for a friend you already exchange inappropriate jokes with. The goal is “you get me,” not “please see HR.”
