Top 5 Gifts For Coworkers
1) 2-in-1 Travel Pillow Infinity Scarf
This travel pillow scarf is a lightweight accessory that eliminates the need to carry One. More. Thing. onto a plane. Pre-flight, you can wear it as an infinity scarf. Buckled in and ready to rest? Inflate the removable, built-in neck pillow for a comfortable ride. You can stash items in the pillow’s pocket, too.
2) Caliber Money Clip
American Bench Craft: Caliber Money Clip - Black Leather & Nickel-Plated Brass Rivets
3) Felt World Map
Trot the globe and pin your journey with this felt world travel map. Palomar—a family business in the heart of Florence—turns maps into décor that are both interesting and interactive. Put this map on your wall and trace your own steps or fill it up collaboratively. It’s a great conversation catalyst.
4) Reusable Silicone Food Storage Bags-Set of 4
These reusable silicone food storage bags do a lot more than the toss-out plastic ones can—like stand up. They’re airtight and leak-proof thanks to a sealing slider, and so a great choice for storing liquids like soup and sauces. The bags have a flat bottom for easy filling and can go in the microwave, oven, dishwasher, and freezer. You can even write on one with a dry erase marker.
5) Silicone Drinking Straws - 5-Pack
These reusable silicone straws are soft, flexible, and durable. Two sizes (8.25" and 10.5" long) mean there are straws to suit both drinking glasses and tumblers, and one can easily be cut shorter. An included squeegee makes clean-up easier, too.
