Funny Gifts for Coworkers
Coworker gifts need to be funny without being inappropriate. A 261-page novel consisting of the word 'ew' is safe for every office and funny enough for everyone.
The coworker gift problem
Coworker gifts need to avoid political, personal, and inappropriate territory. They also need to be memorable enough that the recipient is not quietly disappointed. Absurdist books thread this needle: they are universally funny and entirely inoffensive.
Archive books in the office
EW in particular works well as an office gift — it is the right size, the right price range, and triggers the right reaction: confusion followed by laughter. It will sit on the desk as a conversation piece.
