- Favour things that work for almost anyone, like a card game for the break room or a small desk gadget.
- Include a gift receipt so they can swap it without any awkwardness.

- Edgy joke gifts that could offend someone whose sense of humour is unknown.
- Niche hobby gear, unless there's solid evidence they actually play or collect.
