The men in our lives are notoriously hard to shop for — and the guys in our work lives are no different. They’re amazing people, and we want to make them feel loved and appreciated, but sometimes they keep their desires a little close to the chest.
But that doesn’t have to stop us from getting them something they’ll truly treasure as a Christmas gift or birthday gift. Sure, we might have to put in a little extra brain power, but these guys are worth it. Because, let’s be honest, the gag gifts and funny gifts are a bit overdone. How many more tacky t-shirts do men need?
At Goody, we have perfected the art of the perfect present. We have hundreds of gifts for every guy in your life — the coworker with a sweet tooth, the athlete, the bookworm — even the coworker who you don’t know all that well yet.
With Goody, if nothing else, you never have to worry about getting him a gift he won’t like — because the gift recipient can swap the gift for something else they prefer.
Check out our list of 15 great gift ideas for your male coworkers and employees. We don’t do desk clutter or generic drink cozies — because it’s not always the thought that counts. It’s the quality that counts.
So let’s get started on the gifts for the coworkers near and dear to your heart (or at least near your cubicle):
The 15 Best Presents for Male Coworkers
Chocolate Covered Oreos by Zac’s Sweet Shop
When in doubt, go sweet! Food is an excellent way to a man’s heart, and these Chocolate-Covered Oreos from Zac’s Sweet Shop are a great coworker gift. They’re simple, so there’s not a lot of pressure attached to the gift, but they will appreciate the thoughtful gesture!
This six-pack of Oreos covered in delightful chocolate is simply delicious, and the cookies come in three different flavors: classic, peanut butter, and cookie butter. That way, you’ve got options to make sure they get something they’ll love.
And if your coworker doesn’t love those or has a dietary or allergy preference, Goody makes it easy to swap this gift. It’s like the convenience of a White Elephant without any of the hard feelings.
4-Pack of Cookies From Levain Bakery
Who doesn’t love a cookie? These cookies from Levain Bakery are some of the best out there. These extra thick, extra chocolate-y cookies have made Levain the trendiest bakery in New York City, with long lines out the door.
They come in six flavors, including Chocolate Chip Walnut, Two Chip Chocolate Chip, Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, or a variety pack. When they arrive, these cookies look pretty big, but believe us; they won’t last long.
Stainless Steel Glass With Lid by SnowFox
For the beer lover (or beer snob) in the office, the SnowFox Stainless Steel Beer Glass won’t let you down. There’s something so nice about pouring a cold one and enjoying it after a long day of work.
However, when your IPA gets warm as you sit on the porch, the fun quickly ends. The SnowFox will make sure that your drink stays as chilled as you are, thanks to the thermoregulating powers of stainless steel.
The minimalist design looks stunning on a bar cart or in your hand as you toast to the next big deal.
Roaster Sample Box by Onyx Coffee Lab
Every team has that one guy who used to work as a barista and just loves his java more than anything. Well, this Roaster Sampler Box from Onyx Coffee Labs is the perfect gift for the coffee-lover in the office.
This variety pack has four 4-ounce bags of single-origin coffee beans that will knock your socks off. In 2020 alone, Onyx Coffee Labs took home three medals at the Brewers Championship and the Barista Championship. Better still, Onyx coffee is sustainable, single-origin, and certified organic.
Pickleball Adult Paddle by Recess
Pickleball is on the rise right now. Everybody is playing it these days, so what better gift for the office athlete than a high-quality pickleball paddle? Recess is a top-notch brand that makes high-quality fiberglass paddles that are equal parts aesthetically pleasing and durable.
This gift comes with a case to protect the paddle, and the recipient chooses from five different colors — whatever matches his vibe. He’ll appreciate the gift, and you might open a door to go hang with him on the weekends and play some pickleball!
2022 Tour Response Golf Balls by TaylorMade
If one of your employees or coworkers is a big golfer, then these 2022 Tour Response Golf Balls are the best out there. They have a 100% urethane cover to offer more spin and control on the ball. Top names in golf trust TaylorMade, including Tiger Woods and Camillo Villegas.
This box comes with 12 TaylorMade Tour Response balls. It’s a fabulous pick, especially in the spring or summertime, when golf season is in full swing.
Digital Gift Card to APL
We all have that super athletic coworker or employee who spends their lunch break on a run. They’re an inspiration. If it looks like they could use some more pep in their step, consider a digital gift card for APL.
This brand of athletic shoes is the real deal, and they genuinely improve your athletic performance. In fact, they were banned by the NBA for giving players an unfair advantage.
Gifting shoes is naturally a bit tricky since size and comfort level come into play. That’s why gift cards from Goody are a totally fair advantage; your male employees can get their perfect fit every time.
Football Hat by New Era
If you need a secret Santa gift for a football lover in the office, a New Era football hat with his favorite team on it is a great way to go. A guy can never have enough hats, and his current football hat probably needs a bit of an upgrade.
What’s unique about sending this gift on Goody is that the recipient himself chooses which team’s logo he wants on the cap. So you don’t need to guess his favorite team if you’re not sure. (Though let’s face it, most guys don’t keep this a secret.)
Go-To Beanie by HOMAGE
Another nice gift for your favorite coworker is a high-quality Go-To Beanie from HOMAGE. This is especially nice if he has a winter birthday or lives in a colder place. This hat is simple and stylish, and it is well-crafted to keep his head warm at any temperature.
With the options on Goody, after you send this beanie, he can have his pick from a pine green or a navy blue option. He’ll never have to stare longingly at his coworker, who got the color of choice. Now, every quasi-hipster and/or outdoorsman of the company can get exactly what he wants.
The Watch Book Compendium by teNeues Publishing Company
If you’re looking for a unique gift for your watch-lover friend, there’s no better option than the Watch Book Compendium. This contains volumes I and II of the famous Watch Book, complete with nearly 1,000 photos of exceptional watches, their histories, and the geniuses behind the designs.
Filled with jaw-droppingly gorgeous watch photography, this is the perfect gift for any watch aficionado or aspiring Rolex wearer.
Navy Le Classic Slippers by Brunch
The great thing about self-care gifts like this is that guys never pamper themselves, but when someone else gives it to them, they’ll absolutely love it. Comfy slippers are not just for the ladies. The fellas love them too, especially when they’re comfortable, durable, and practical. And that’s exactly what the Le Classic slippers are.
They make for a memorable holiday gift that he’ll use over Christmas. It’s the perfect way to upgrade his holiday season with a nice, practical gift.
Le Classic is a female-founded business. Goody makes it easy to support the business that supports what you care about. Filter for “sustainable,” “female-founded,” “BIPOC-founded,” or more for a gift that matters more than what’s in the box.
Loafer Hammock by Coaltree
This is another great gift for anybody who loves to hike or camp. They have enough water bottles and camping accessories, so it’s time to try something new! And the best way to elevate the whole camping experience is with a Loafer Hammock.
This hammock weighs in at just 13.5 ounces, making it easy to bring just about anywhere. Your top earners deserve a day (or week) off. It’s a gift that will make your coworker yawn in the best possible way.
Go3 Waterproof Wireless Speaker by JBL
You know when new technology makes you go, Man, we’re living in the FUTURE? That’s the feeling when you hear the sheer quality of audio that comes out of the tiny Go3 Waterproof Wireless Speaker from JBL.
Music makes the world go round, and this waterproof Bluetooth speaker can keep the tunes and good times rolling in any situation, rain or shine. This gadget is small and practical, making it a good gift for anybody who enjoys music (which is pretty much everyone).
This Go3 Waterproof Wireless Speaker is made by JBL, a high-quality audio company. Now, he can blast the soundtrack from his favorite video game or Sarah McLachlan’s greatest hits as he enters his quarterly reports.
Ember Cup
This thoughtful gift is the ultimate way to boost an employee’s workspace.
The Ember Cup is an electronic coffee mug that keeps your coffee warm all day long when on the changing pad or 1.5 hours when running on battery. Coffee fanatics can control the temperature with their phone, so every sip is completely perfect. Never drink lukewarm coffee again.
Herringbone Sherpa Fleece Blanket by Rumpl
We all have those high-pressure days that call for a decompression session next to the fireplace. This next gift meets that need.
This 50x70 Sherpa Fleece Blanket fights off static and the early morning (or late night) chill. It’s as much part of a home office as his elaborate, carefully-curated triple monitor setup is.
Rumpl started on Kickstarter, so the very fiber of it gives off that self-starter, hustle energy that every office needs. Rumpl is as good for the environment as it is for your interior design scheme — Rumpl is a certified B Corporation and a member of 1% for the Planet.
