Esquire’s guide to office gifting.

Your coworker has been with you through it all. A great coworker can be more trusted than your mom, dad, brother, girlfriend, boyfriend—you get it. The best coworkers are an objective party who will always give you life advice; whether or not it's good life advice doesn't matter here. Or if you want to get Machiavellian, consider every coworker gift a chance to influence, a chance to win someone over. This is how you climb that corporate ladder.

And to play those corporate mind games, you're gonna need the gifts to be good, really good. You need to start studying your targets now. What's the deal with your boss? Camping lady. Your desk mate? Tech nerd. The IT guy? Gamer. Your office nemesis might really like whiskey or beer. Take this information, consult our list here, and come the holiday season you'll be giving them the best gift they've ever gotten.

The shopping editors here at Esquire are gift experts—not really corporate masterminds, though, maybe skip that part. Just trust that one of these 43 perfect gifts for coworkers will wow them and wholeheartedly endear you to them. That much we can absolutely promise.

A major note-taking upgrade, this book has smart pages that digitally record everything handwritten for posterity's sake and then wipe clean so they can be reused again and again.

Part lunch box, part soft cooler. If they're in need of a lunch box, this is the one I'd buy them.

A money tree makes a nice, easy-to-care-for desk decoration, and it brings good financial luck. Can't beat this one.

Desktop tech accessories don't have to be ugly. This marble charging stone from Einova is a perfect example of that.

Something retro and playful to brighten up their desk or office.

This smell-proof keychain is made to carry a single joint or blunt. We all have at least one coworker who could make use of it; some of us have a shift's worth of coworkers who would love this one.

If you work in an office setting, a nice pen is a good gift. Thankfully, the Parker Jotter that I love is nice but also cheap.

Coffee snobs generally stand behind pour-over as their favorite way to brew drip coffee. Seeing as every office has at least one coffee snob, a Stanley pour-over is one to keep in mind.

If there's an office fridge, there's enough space for an office cold-brew carafe. Consider this one a gift for everybody.

A nice alternative for the coworker who's had to cut back on coffee.

Every office I've ever been in—be it a doctor, a dentist, or "media" office—has weeks where the air-conditioning is criminally cold. The solution, especially for cold-blooded coworkers, is a Champion reverse-weave sweatshirt under the desk. Give one to the coworker who needs it most.

In a different life, y'all could have met as wild horses in the preindustrial West. Instead, you met sitting at this desk job.

Will keep coffee hot for hours. The holidays are a perfect time to get your coworkers this overbuilt tumbler.

We could all stand to pack a lunch at home more often.

If they like to cook, they use olive oil. Partanna makes some of the best widely available EVOO, but a three-liter tin still costs quite a bit. Buy them one and they'll be eternally grateful.

You know how you get a promotion? Taking your job seriously. Business cards are serious, but they can't just be loose in the pockets. Get that climbing coworker a business-card case.

Keep 'em on their toes with a book of brain-twisting puzzles that outdo any old sudoku, invented by the mysterious master puzzler with his own cult following, M.

If they're always in an airport lounge, these stackable travel containers are one of our absolute favorite travel products.

The best water bottle of all time is the perfect gift for a coworker you know but not really on any sort of personal level.

A big, weighted stuffed animal that will literally lower their anxiety. No other gift could be this valuable.
