17 Funny Secret Santa Gifts For Co-Workers That You’ll Want For Yourself Too

If you work in an office, then you'll likely be doing a Secret Santa gift exchange. And, if your workplace is just like Dunder-Mifflin on The Office, then you're definitely going to want to check out these funny Secret Santa 2017 gifts for co-workers. One thing that can make getting through the work day easier is having fun and playful co-workers who will appreciate humorous Secret Santa gifts. And, because the holidays can be a stressful time at work, helping your co-workers find the funny is a great way to lighten the holiday pressure and to let them know that they're not alone.

One thing you can likely count on at work during the holidays is lots and lots of food. In many workplaces, different departments host their own in-office holiday parties where people bring in tons of cookie and casseroles and share them with everyone. At a previous job we had a canoe coffee table that was designated just for sharing food.

If someone had treats to share they sent an email saying, "Food on the canoe!" If you draw a co-worker in the Secret Santa 2017 gift exchange, there are even fun foodie gifts to enhance their in-office snacking enjoyment. Ready to put on your elf hat to make your co-worker's holiday merry and bright? Check out these funny gifts for co-workers for Secret Santa 2017.
