Funny Office Gifts That Won’t Get You Reported To HR
Office gifts are a minefield. Go too far and you get a call from HR; go too safe and you are the person who brought a branded pen. Funny office gifts that actually get used and laughed at are the sweet spot, and there are plenty of ways to be funny at work without crossing any lines.
The golden rule of office humor
Keep it light, keep it universal, and keep it work appropriate. The best office humor is the kind everyone can laugh at, from the intern to the CEO. Self deprecating jokes about meetings, coffee, and Mondays are always safe territory, while anything edgy, political, or personal is not.
Funny office gifts that are actually safe
- A “meetings” desk sign that says none of us are productive together
- A miniature everything is fine desk sign
- A “this is fine” dog meme mug
- A desktop punching bag for stress relief
- A “sarcasm loading” mug
- A my last nerve candle
- An emotional support certificate
- A funny do not disturb door hanger set
Find them all in our home and office humor collection.
Gifts for the coworker who has everything
The best office gifts are the ones that earn a spot on the desk permanently. A funny desk sign or a good mug gets used every single day, which means your gift gets remembered every single day. That is far better than a gift card that disappears into a drawer.
When in doubt, keep it self deprecating
The safest comedy always points inward. A mug that jokes about how we all need coffee to function is funny to everyone and offensive to no one. Lean into that universal truth and you will never need to worry about HR.
