We’re big fans of the annual office gift exchange: It’s a great way to show a little appreciation for the people with whom you spend 40-plus hours a week. But on the flip side, it can be a bit of a challenge. (You barely know what to get your mom, let alone Dave in accounting.) These gifts—all under $40—are guaranteed to be a hit with any member of your work fam.
