A Guide to Gifts for Your Co-workers – Your Family Away from Home

Samantha Crafty Paralegal - Christmas 2015 A Guide to Gifts for Your Family Away from Home 01

Post by aftcra Guest Blogger, Samantha of Crafty Paralegal

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:

1. Alpaca Scarf – Lace Cream

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.
