A digital photo frame

A comedy or theatre night
Tickets for a show, with dinner before. Around $40-150.
A shared journal
A notebook you pass back and forth, one entry each. Around $10-25.
A favourite snack, delivered
The treat they always pick, sent without a reason. Around $10-30.
A good umbrella
A sturdy compact umbrella that will outlast the cheap ones. Around $25-70.
A jar of compliments
Fifty small notes on what you like about them. It costs little.
Buying for a tech lover
Anything with a battery or a port has to fit the gear they already have. A smart lamp, a power bank or a stand is a safer pick than a flagship device.
Ask a friend for a model number if you are unsure.
Buying for a coworker
Work gifts should be modest and non-personal. Keep to the office budget and avoid anything intimate, like perfume or clothing.
A card with a specific thank-you matters more than the object.
If you want to give it today
A gift with no date attached says more than one on a deadline. Digital tickets, snack deliveries and a personalized game are quick to arrange, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.
There is no deadline, which lets you order things that take a week to arrive. Pair a quick digital gift with something that needs shipping.
What should I get a coworker who loves tech?
A mechanical keyboard, a tablet stand or a portable charger. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game that can still arrive in time.
What is a unique gift for a coworker that is not just another object?
A playable gift: a small game where they are the hero, with a letter from you at the start and a closing one at the end. It gives them a memory instead of another object. A game is software they have never seen before.
Can I send a coworker a gift online at the last minute?
Yes. Digital tickets and digital gifts arrive instantly. An oin game is generated automatically after payment and usually emailed within an hour.
