Short answer: Buy one multipack and split it, then add a small treat. Useful multipacks like foldable phone stands, multitool pens, or gel pens cost about $1 or less per person, and winter extras like hand warmers and novelty socks are just a little more. Add a few individually wrapped chocolates or a candy cane, and each coworker gets a nice gift for well under $10.
Buying for a whole team gets expensive fast. Thirty $10 gifts is $300, but it doesn’t have to be. The trick is to buy in bulk and build small bundles. Every price below is the multipack price we checked, and we did the per-person math for a team of 30. For more ideas, see our full list of 54 bulk Christmas gifts.
How we chose: This is a researched shopping guide, not a hands-on product test. Every pick comes from our bulk Christmas gifts guide, and per-person costs are based on the pack prices we last checked in October 2026. Prices change, so check the retailer before you buy. Our editorial standards explain how we research every list.

A few bulk gift mistakes can make a team gift feel careless.
- Homemade food for a big office. Many workplaces prefer sealed, store-bought treats because of allergies.
- Logo swag nobody asked for. Branded stress balls and keychains usually get tossed. Pick something useful.
- Alcohol. Some coworkers don’t drink, and some offices don’t allow it.
- Uneven gifts. Give everyone the same thing so nobody feels left out.
Coworker gift FAQ
How much should you spend on gifts for coworkers?
For a whole team, $5 to $10 per person is a common, comfortable range. Bulk multipacks keep it affordable.
What is a good cheap gift for a lot of coworkers?
Phone stands, multitool pens, hand warmers, and novelty socks all come in multipacks that cost about $1 to $2 per person. Add a wrapped chocolate or candy cane.
Do you have to buy gifts for every coworker?
No. Many people give a small treat to their whole team or skip individual gifts altogether. If you give gifts, give the same thing to everyone.
