Men love BBW.

Alcohol

Not sure of your budget but all below can come in <$40.

Any kind of decent fragrance. Pick the ones you like on a man or look at r/Colognes for ideas.

A snifter and a pint of good booze. Or a Bar utensil set.

Cigars.

One of those table top boxes with glass lid and drawers where gents keep their watches, cufflinks, & etc.

A scarf or neck gaiter.

A box of basic kitchen spices.

A set of handkerchiefs or bandanas.

Bathroom scales, the smart kind that connect to your phone.

A sketch pad and big can of art markers.

Books.

Socks (I like GoWith or Maggie's Organics)

A grill apron.

A nice chef's knife or pair of them.

Yeti cups with each of their names engraved. I’m pretty sure they do a big Black Friday sale every year.

I know this is the gifts sub, but I can’t stress enough how much more they’d appreciate just having $50. feel free to add their favorite candy to it.

The other two ideas are really great. Homemade goodoes are often appreciated. Besides cookies and candy, stuff like chex mix, chocolate covered prerzels, brittle or barks, sweet breads like pumpkin. Also, small light smelling hand lotions, a small holiday plate with spreader knife. Non-religious holiday knick-knack like a standing snowflake or candle holder with flameless tealight. I would avoid actual candles though or heavily scented stuff.

Randomly, I was gifted this bowl cozy thing that you can put around a dish in the microwave and then easily move/carry the hot dish and it is awesome. I would never have thought to buy one.

Also, dollar store baskets are great for multi-thing gifts and easy to dress up with a ribbon.

Homemade cookies or a cute mug with a hot chocolate bomb in it, a scarf, a warm pair of socks,

Cookies or candy. Something they can share with their family.

Starbucks gift cards.

There are some cute themed dog grooming keychains on Etsy if you do a basic search, some are under $10.

If people aren’t allergic to fragrance, I think buying some candles from Target or the Dollar Store and printing some new wrap around labels (you could even do it with paper, pens, and tape) with funny sayings on them like “Scent of fresh puppy cut” or “Eau de basic b*tch” or “Shed Happens.” I think googling dog groomer humor would help for inspiration 😀

Gift baskets or bags.

Items to include: lint roller to remove dog hair, ear plugs or ear buds for music when the furry ones won’t stop barking, soothing tea, candy bars because you think they are sweet, and/or

Everybody (almost) likes brownies or fudge. You could make some, wrapping pieces in plastic Saran Wrap, using holiday ribbon to tie the pieces like peppermint candies

You could opt for a dvd, a bag of microwave popcorn and a candy bar too. The movies are sold at Dollar and a quarter Tree.

Good luck.

Coffee mugs with dogs on them

Candy

Candles

Silly socks

Face masks? The skincare kind, not the COVID kind

fun socks or a mug that suit their personality/interests

Key rings with their favourite dog breed ?

Do you have a cafe nearby? Could you get a bunch of $5 gift cards so everyone can have one decent coffee?

-Christmas tree ornaments -bookmarks -stickers

Powder shampoo/body wash, hidden camera detector, sneakers deodorant balls, waterproof shoe spray. In shopee, you can even get personalised keychains or small wallet/cardholder

I got a type C 45 W Charger for my colleague

Snack wise can try amazing graze granola . Or mevaldo snacks. All available on shopeee.

I don't care. I just buy a box of chocolates each.

depending on your office culture and how close you are, i find gag gifts quite fun (esp for lower budget)! i once received a banana with 'berry xmas' written on it LOL

I like to buy the half-pound Reece’s peanut butter cups and wrap them for coworkers. They are 3/$14 at Sam’s Club.

Lotto tickets, hand sanitizer, lotion, chap stick, hair ties/headbands, pens...

Cute mug full of candy

Sheet masks for face. You might find some really cute ones that look like animal and therefore you can choose animal for each person and maybe write why you have chosen it :)

I like to get my coworkers something from a local shop. I'll do chocolates or macarons from this French bakery.

I just bought 3 Bundt pans from a Ross that were 4.99$ each - I am going to attach recipe cards with my favorite apple cake recipe and a nice ribbon for my coworkers!

Don't forget that most of us view frugal as being the best value for our money; not necessarily the cheapest. So before you gift someone with some thing, consider the person and make sure that whether it's expensive or inexpensive, that it is something you think the receiver would want and will bring them joy.

For family members, homemade food items may be just fine but in our new post pandemic culture home made food items are more problematic than before when all you had to worry about are co-worker food allergies. I have heard and seen home made cakes and cookies get tossed out now in offices because people are wary of the cleanliness of their coworkers.

For relatives, consider one larger gift for the entire family to enjoy instead of separate gifts for each member. Cozy blankets or heated throws are great or a gift membership to a streaming service.

For office mates, reusable silicon storage bags are good as well as reusuable straws. You can buy packs and then split them up to make multiple gifts.

Homemade cookies, banana bread, cake. Homemade flavored booze or vinegar: add add chilies to vodka for Bloody Marys; add basil or garlic to vinegar. If you prefer to buy gifts, boxes of candy are good. Maybe a regional favorite like Lamme's in Texas.

A dear friend and coworker of mine for the past 20 years makes handmade note cards. She stamps and draws artwork on the note cards. She writes personal messages in the card of why and how much she appreciates the person. If she has a pic of herself and the person, she’ll includes a small copy of the pic.

If she can afford it, she’ll also pick one item for $1 at dollar store and write in her note why she bought that gift for that person.

Her co-workers, family & friends, including myself, look forward to getting her handwritten messages and gifts. Last year, she purchased me a 5-pack of 5 flavor lifesavers candy rolls. I was delighted! She knows I love nostalgic candy. I treasure all of her cards over the years. Some of the gifts I’m still using today.

Less is more. Homemade and thoughtful is priceless and precious.

Homemade treats like cookies, fudge, brownies, candy, etc seem like a great option. Anything you can create in a big batch and then divvy up accordingly. Homemade candles could also be an option - most craft stores will sell the wicks & wax, and you could collect recycled glass jars to pour the wax into. (If you know anyone that eats Oui French style yogurt, those jars would make great tea candles.)

With any homemade gifts, you can make it feel more special with the packaging. A lot of craft stores sell cute options for homemade food - I’ve seen colorful versions of Chinese to-go containers that you could fill with some cookies, nuts, or popcorn and decorate with ribbon, etc.

I usually bake for people but last year I had made huge bottles of vanilla extract with fresh vanilla beans so I might just decant them into small glass jars that I save from one of my students (I work with toddlers and one of them usually brings in a small jar of baby food in a glass jar so I just save the jars).

Tho I was also thinking of making chimichurri, which goes great on meat, chicken, or toasted bread. I’ll probably end up buying a large bottle of olive oil and making a few batches of chimichurri; it lasts for literal months in your pantry/counter.
