Cheap Christmas Gift Ideas for Co-Workers and Employees

It's always a thoughtful thing to do to remember your co-workers during the Holiday Season. It is especially nice to remember your employees if you're a manager or supervisor. Of course everyone's budget is different, particularly if you have several people you need to buy gifts for. While you want gifts to be classy, you don't want to break the bank or make others uncomfortable by going over the top. Here are some creative and good quality Christmas gifts that are affordable for those people at the work place.

Bath and Body Works sells quite a few gift sets that are both feminine and masculine for under $15.00. The Forever Festive Signature Collection of 2oz. Christmas lotions (Twisted Peppermint™, Vanilla Bean Noel and Winter Candy Apple) are perfect for a purse or desk drawer and go on sale after Halloween season for $5.00 for each set of three. They also have Barber Shower sets in Elixer Blue and Elixer Black scents for men, $10.00 per set. Each set contains an 8oz. Hair and Body Wash along with a wash puff.

Bed, Bath and Beyond carries a lotion and hand soap set for $9.99. The Cranberry Vanilla Duo in Wire Caddy Gift Set is a fun idea for either gender.

If you're looking for a decadent delight for the taste buds, you could visit the Lindt truffle website where they carry plenty of gift ideas under $15.00. For the holiday season, they offer a special where you can get two of any 19 oz. bag of truffles for $20.00. That's $10.00 per bag of your choice: Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate, Ultimate Assorted (all the regular flavors plus Peanut Butter and Hazelnut) or Classic Assorted with all the regular flavors. With 45 truffles in each bag, there's enough for a family to share this fancy Swiss made chocolate.

If you want to go for something a little cheaper but deliciously hand made and wrapped with a fancy ribbon, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory makes gourmet Carmel Apples with a dozen toppings to choose from. The prices range from $4-$6 and the flavors are varied by location. Some toppings include Rocky Road, Oreo, Butterfinger, Peanut, Almond, Apple Pie, Chocolate chip and many others. Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory has plenty of other home-made fudge and chocolate options that are under $15.00 as well. They also have hundreds of locations across the U.S.

A festive idea is to buy a clear or white beer or hot chocolate mug and fill it with Christmas goodies. Chocolate Santas, candy canes, Christmas colored chocolate kisses, a packet of Swiss Miss hot chocolate, etc. This gift would ring in around $2 - $5 per mug.
