We all know Christmas is the season of giving and is the best time to show your appreciation to your colleagues which have helped you one way or another. It is also the season for us to know how much we care for one another and how thoughtful we are.
After all, you spend almost 40 hours a week with them, so a good thoughtful present goes a long way over at your workplace. It may not be easy to choose the perfect gift, so let me crack my brain for you on what are the 3 thoughtful gifts you should get for your colleagues, and 3 gifts that your colleague may not love receiving!
3 Thoughtful Gifts



3 Gifts People Might Feel “Paiseh” To Reject
Disclaimer: These are the least popular gifts I have received so far. You may or may not like it, but most colleagues will feel obligated to accept these gifts and they may not like them!


You will definitely have received a mug as a gift before, but how many mugs can we use in the office? One cup/mug can used for a good 5 to 10 years unless you break it. The extra cups will be chucked one side in a dark corner of your cupboard.
Pro tip: You can use the mug to be a pen holder or brush holder at your dressing table.

To take a shower more than 15 minutes is a luxury to busy mothers like me – Most Singaporeans are unable to enjoy the body wash gift set. If you do not use it, why not pass it on to someone at the thrift shop instead of letting it occupy your storage space?
Afterall, it is the thought that counts. Even if you have received any of the 3 “paiseh” gifts, it is still better than not receiving any! Let’s count our blessings!
