Camouflage toilet paper is so last year. The most unusual workplace gifts of 2014.

After two days of organized-labor-themed oxygen-sucking blog posts, I’m gonna lighten it up today, with some holiday co-worker gift-giving ideas for you.

Taking my cue from CareerBuilder’s 2014 list of the most unusual holiday gifts exchanged in the workplace, please consider nixing these from your list:

  • A box of Hot Pockets®.
  • A chess piece (just one piece, not a set).
  • A fire extinguisher.
  • A voucher for a free lawn game of the co-worker’s own invention.
  • A turquoise leather vest.
  • Zombie action figures.
  • A Ziploc® bag with coffee (enough to make one pot).
  • A ‘gun of the day’ calendar.
  • A bag of chips.
  • A Christmas ornament with the co-worker’s and spouse’s photos on it.

If you are looking for a holiday gift for yours truly, I was over on perpetualkid.com, and a few items to consider:
