It’s very likely that you spend more waking hours with your colleagues and workmates than you do with your families and loved ones. It’s possible you sit with them for eight hours a day, every weekday, and still find the time to walk to the pub at close of play on Friday for celebratory drinks, or to drown the week’s sorrows. You occasionally have to work overtime at their side, and you pass an infinite number of e-mails back and forth from Monday to Friday, or sit by their side at the weekend dealing with a variety of difficult customers. You should be close to your colleagues, but many people fail to choose the right gifts for the people they work with. Thankfully, our personalised birthday gifts are great for your colleagues, and sure to reflect the time you spend with them.

No matter where you work, those tea and coffee breaks will be an integral part of your day. They break the monotony, they get people talking and they offer that much-needed boost as the afternoon wears on. Our personalised tea and coffee mugs make a great choice for a birthday gift for a colleague. The next time you make their hot drink, be sure to note how much milk and sugar they take. Then, buy one of our mugs personalised with their tea or coffee order, and labelled with their name. Now, they’re always ready for that next break.

If you want something more suited to a specific office personality, read on for great gifts for every member of staff.

The Boss

Who else could we start with? Gifts for your boss might be a little hard to find, but you’ll find few better than a personalised leather organiser for all those important meetings, including the one to discuss your next payrise!

The Receptionist

The office receptionist is sure to appreciate a practical gift for those long days by the desk. Pick our stylish engraved desk tidy, complete with space for a picture of her cute pet dog, and give her the motivation to keep on greeting those visitors.

The Cold-Caller

No doubt any cold-callers in your office suffer a mind-numbing and soul crushing fate. Every day, it’s their job to speak to people that don’t want to talk to them. Give them something to smile about with our personalised playing cards for a game of solitaire on their lunch break.

The Customer Service Assistant

Customer service assistants have a lot to deal with. Unhappy customers, happy customers and customers that don’t seem to understand what they’re saying. Treat them to a beautiful engraved wine glass, for the drinks they’ll go home to night after night as they wind down from a day of dealing with people.

The Cleaner

The cleaner can sometimes be forgotten. They get up long before everyone else or they visit late at night, carrying out the job that keeps your workplace safe and hygienic without any recognition for their efforts. If it’s their birthday, leave a gift for them to find and brighten up their day. A personalised vase is sure to be appreciated – every cleaner understands the value of adding beauty to a room, and they’ll love a vessel for their favourite flowers.

The Office Clown

Always making efforts to keep spirits up, the office clown deserves a gift that reflects their fun personality. Choose an engraved yo-yo to keep them occupied for hours.

The Newbie

You might not know the newest addition to the company too well, but if they’ve been clever enough to arrive just in time for a birthday gift there are generic options that make great birthday gifts for someone you’ve only just met. You can’t go wrong with a personalised jar of sweets. Particularly when they’re looking to make friends and will probably offer the sugary snacks around!

Whoever you’re buying for, our birthday gifts for colleagues are fantastic personalised choices. You see your workmates day in, day out – get them a gift that shows you care.
