- Teapot
- Teas
Same goes for hobbies-

- For the Biker co-worker the perfect gift could be anything for the bike like lights, bells, or bike gear, or headsets too.
- If they like to cook– a basket full of goodies like this would be appreciated.

- Coworkers that listen to music can be gifted ‘gift cards’ to select their own music or headphones to listen. You can find one to suit your budget.
