14 Inexpensive Thank You Gifts For Colleagues, Coworkers And Boss When You Leave


Are you wondering what you can gift your favorite coworkers or even your boss when you kinda like them? There is the saying “Go funny or go home.” If we’re honest, we’d like to go home.

To admit, preparing gifts for coworkers leaving isn’t always the easiest thing to do.  There are millions of different and unique coworker office gifts we could buy, but most of them aren’t interesting. Importantly, we actually like these people so we want to choose gifts they’ll actually appreciate.

Last year, people spent on average $30 on coworkers and $50 on their boss. The point is that you don’t have to buy a very expensive gift to get them something good. We’ve researched the hottest gifting categories and chose some of our favorite ideas that are cost-effective. Of course, just in case, we had to choose some ideas that cost more.

Most of our selected unique gifts for bosses cost less than $30 and even less than $10. Shop now our fun gift picks for your boss and your coworkers in 2021.
