It’s that time of year at CareerBuilder. Yep, yep. We’ve got ourselves the list of the most unusual holiday gifts exchanged at work.
I’m a gift giver at work. According to the survey, I’m just the one in five who do buy holiday gifts for co-workers. And, of the people who do exchange gifts at work, the majority (80 percent) expect to spend no more than $25 on each gift, 36 percent will spend no more than $10, and 9 percent will cap themselves off at $5.
So, if you’re one of those folks who try to get the most bang for your workplace-gift-giving buck, check out the list of the most unusual holiday gifts below. And avoid them all. Like the 76ers avoid wins. Like the Olsens avoid a Full House reunion.
- A squirrel toilet seat decal.
- A pair of Christmas socks that look like elf feet.
- A roll of duct tape.
- A bell on a string.
- A mystery bag with a coat in it.
- A giant heart-shaped box of candy … from Valentine’s Day.
- A picture of a bear.
- A bowling ball.
- Homemade sausages.
- A ceramic sheep you can dress up seasonally.
Have you received an unusual holiday gift? Maybe something more unusual than the items on the list above. Preferably something that didn’t lead to a workplace lawsuit. Hit me up and let me know.
