12 Relaxing Holiday Gifts To Give Your Coworkers After a Hectic Q4

Another busy, definitely not-normal work year is coming to end, but not without the cherry on-top—a hectic fourth quarter. The end of the year is a busy time across most industries: Retailers—both in-store and online—are gearing up for a flood of Black Friday and Cyber Monday shoppers. Food, beverage, and hospitality workers are in the throes of entertaining. Other industries are just trying to make a strong push across the finish line, whether that means making quota, reaching goal, or finalizing up big sales. But we probably don’t need to remind you.

If you’re working, chances are, this is a very hectic time for you and your coworkers. Rather than sending them a bottle of wine or an e-gift card to celebrate the end of it all, give your coworkers something they’ll both want and need after a busy Q4: a little bit of R&R. Whether you’re shopping for your virtual cubicle buddy, your go-to Zoom happy hour partner, or your fearless leader of a boss, treat your colleagues to a relaxing gift that will help them log-off (and stay off) from the list below.
