If You Hate Office Holiday Gift Exchanges, These Under-$25 Gift Sets At Sephora Will Save You

Ugh, office holiday gift exchanges. Depending on whether you like your co-workers or not, it can be a funny, thoughtful event, or it can become a dreaded, stressful disaster. What do I get my annoying co-worker who constantly brags about already owning everything? What do I gift our female CEO, an extremely intimidating boss babe running the whole show? What do I get our completely overworked, underpaid, still-smiling intern? Since there’s usually a price cap for every office white elephant party (or, at least, for your sake, let’s hope so!), I’ve rounded up the best gift sets from Sephora under $25.

Trying to figure out what to gift in your office holiday gift exchange can be exhausting and a little intimidating. I mean, if you know your gift recipient well enough, it’s pretty easy to figure out what they would like. But when you get the co-worker who is always sitting in her corner, only speaking up in team meetings, it’s a bit more difficult. Whether you’re gifting to a high-maintenance princess, a low-maintenance tomboy, an in-office mentor who low-key loves skincare, or an assistant calling out an SOS, there’s something for everyone on your office roster.

Sol De Janiero Bum Bum Bath Bomba Ornament ($10, sephora.com)

Is there even a point in wrapping this bath bomb inside an ornament holder? If I got this as a gift, I’d immediately open it up and drop it right into my bathtub THAT NIGHT, sans the tree.
