For the Frequent Flyer

Bellroy Desk Caddy
$59

Ideal for the co-worker who’s constantly on the go, this caddy organizes phone and laptop cables or chargers so that they’re easy to retrieve when needed, such as during a flight. Inside, the large main area can hold frequently needed gear, pouches can hold a mouse and cables, and a separate section exists for personal items.

Fun-Sized Action

Tiny Arcade
$21.99–$29.99

Few offices have arcade games, but this one fits in a desk drawer and delivers all the sound and action of the real thing. Available with Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and other classic games, it’s a great gift for the co-worker who likes to spice up their breaks with a bit of hand-eye-coordinated excitement.

There’s nothing worse for a coffee or tea fan than to sit down at their desk with a fresh, hot mug and then have the phone ring or the boss call them into a spontaneous meeting. When the call ends or they return to their desk, the beverage is cold. To counter such a scenario, this practical device keeps the contents at a preferred temperature from 77 to 194 degrees F.

Every office has that one stressed-out co-worker who really needs a neck massage. But because HR frowns on staff touching each other, here’s a better solution. It delivers soothing heat and a gentle massaging motion to relax the neck and shoulders; best of all, it works while they work, keeping the boss happy.

The Scent of Home

Homesick Candles
$15–$39

These unique candles are infused with scents that evoke fond memories of home or a tranquil setting, such as a seaside cottage, making them a perfect gift for the co-worker who moved from Santa Monica or Boston. Scents representing most major cities are available. No, New York isn’t taxi-cab-scented!
