They say a person's work place is his/her second home. This is because generally after our own homes we spend most of our time at work. Thus people at our work place tend to become like our family. In due course of time you find yourself and your co-workers like a close knit family, bonded to each other constantly. This Christmas, being the season of sharing and giving out gifts to our loved ones how could we miss our coworkers? Below are a few Christmas gift ideas for co-workers that could come handy while choosing the best gift this Christmas:
1. Scented Candles
香薰蠟燭
Scented candles signify good luck. This Christmas, gift your co-workers a box of scented candles. You could also add a sweet message like,"May the lights of Christmas always shine above you".

2. Coffee Set
咖啡用具

通常工作的人都喜歡喝咖啡。對於在聖誕節期間需要經常送禮的人來說，送同事一套別致的咖啡器具，不失為一種送禮的好選擇。
3. A Bottle Of Red Wine
一瓶紅酒
Wine stands for celebration. What could be a better reason to celebrate than the season of Christmas shining its bright light around us? Gift your coworkers a bottle of red wine this Christmas. It is one of the most sophisticated gifts that you can gift your co-workers this Christmas. They are sure to appreciate the fact that you thought about them.
紅酒代表慶祝。還有什麼比聖誕更值得慶賀的理由呢?聖誕就送同事一瓶紅酒吧。他們一定會感激你，因為你心中惦記著他們。
4. Wind Chimes
風鈴
They say a good pleasing sound can instantly change your mood from bad to good. It brings happiness and spreads across the whole atmosphere. Hence wind chimes make a perfect gift for Christmas because it clears off the mind from stress especially in a stressful atmosphere at work. Hence wind chimes are definitely a recommended gift this Christmas.
有人說悅耳動聽的聲音能夠馬上讓你恢復好心情。它能帶來歡樂並且把它播撒到周圍。所以風鈴不失為聖誕上選的禮物，因為它能為人解壓，尤其是在壓力大的辦公室裡。風鈴確實是聖誕值得推薦的禮物。
5. Desk Clock
鬧鐘
At work, in an atmosphere filled with deadlines and lots of work, a desk clock could be really helpful. Hence a desk clock could be a good Christmas gift for your co-worker. There are different desk clocks available in the market or you could even search online for desk clocks of different shapes and sizes. Just make sure it has a long lasting battery life and tells the time clearly.
辦公室一堆截止時間和工作，鬧鐘是很有用的。所以鬧鐘是聖誕送同事的一個好禮物。在商場甚至網上都能找到形狀各異和大小不一的鬧鐘。只要確保電池壽命夠長，時間走得準就好了。
小編提醒：如果是給中國同事送禮物的話，就不建議送「鍾」了。送禮物也要符合各國的文化習俗。
