18 No-Fail Gifts for the Office Exchange
The office swap, solved. These are clean, good-looking crowd-pleasers that don’t blast fragrance, don’t leave hands greasy, and do survive a commute. Think desk misters, smart hand care, travel-size resets, and small luxuries that feel considered under a $50 cap.
How we chose: Every brand here is Canadian-made (that’s the premise of our directory). Selection focused on gifts that feel premium, travel well, avoid strong fragrance, and come in under a ~$50 target.
