Each office is a microcosm of personalities, making the search for the perfect gift for coworkers exciting and bewildering. There’s the snack lover, whose bottomless drawer of candy resembles a mini convenience store, always offering a bite to eat during that mid-afternoon slump. There’s the wellness enthusiast, always eager to remind us to take a break and stretch. And let’s not forget Generation Zer, a beacon of pop culture, bursting with podcast recommendations and eager to take you to their latest binge-worthy obsession.
Even if your team is remote, these quirks show up in the small details: Zoom backgrounds that reveal snippets of our personal lives, Slack banter that often veers between productivity and procrastination, and those GIFs we can’t help but use in excess. Searching for a coworker can be overwhelming, but you probably know them better than you think.
