Co-workers: most of us have them (for better or worse) and often times it can be difficult to find the right gift. Never fear! I have rounded up a list of my favorite gifts for your co-workers. These items are not only hand-made items right here in the U.S. but are unique. Everyone enjoys a gift that is unique and hand-selected just for him or her.
I love to shop and find special gifts for my family and friends that they will not necessarily find for themselves. Sometimes, this includes making the gifts myself which you can read about more on my blog at craftyparalegal.com. This year, I have been absolutely overwhelmed with various projects and do not have the time to make gifts this holiday season. That is why I feel that aftcra.com is so wonderful. I get the same hand-made gifts without actually making them.
For Ladies:
Office temperature is notoriously temperamental; too hot and too cold, all within 15 minutes. A scarf is the perfect accessory to counter the extreme weather changes.

2. Photograph Print – Daffodil
We spend hours in our offices/cubicles, most with very drab interiors. Having a beautiful piece of colorful artwork can make all the difference in maintaining a positive mental attitude.

For Gentlemen:
1. Men’s Shaving Kit – Cypress – Wood
Beards (or lack thereof) are a great way for men to express their individuality. A luxurious, all-natural, shaving kit is the perfect gift for the man who has it all.

2. I Hate Talking to People About Things – coffee mug
Let us be honest. Most professionals have had a very similar sentiment at least a few times each year. Not only is this a great mug for the caffeine fiend, it also is a great gift for a Parks and Recreation fans.
3. Black and White Concrete Planter Cement Pot
Not only does this amazing planter bring life to offices, it has the ability to multifunction as a paperclip holder. The colors and design help it fit in with any office décor.

For Everyone:
1. 2016 Vintage Inspired Hand Stamped Planner “Be Happy”
Of course, what would a gift guide for co-workers be if it did not include a planner? This planner is beautiful in its simplicity and utilitarian.

For the tech lovers in your office, a nice iPad cover WITH POCKETS is a great addition to their arsenal.
