Here are 12 PERFECT gifts for your dreaded office Kris Kindle
The office Kris Kindle is tough-going, particularly if you’re given someone you know very little about or you're brand new to the company.
Oh and we forgot to mention that most of our work places also has a money cap on pressies – so it’s just another hoop we have to jump through, in the hopes that don’t totally mortify anyone.
However, we have put together a fool-proof gift guide which will help you navigate through buying one of the hardest presents of the festive season.
1. Pyjamas

A good festive candle is always warmly welcomed in the office.
Whether your Secret Santa victim…I mean recipient chooses to bring it home or leave it in work, it is bound to come in handy when someone has fish for lunch.
And if they do bring it home, you know you've just won the scent game and they love it.
You can get gift sets that range anywhere between €7-€20, depending on your budget.
