Every year, you find yourself in a  quandry.  You can't quite figure out what gifts to give that are both appropriate and useful for each person in the office.This year, I am so excited because I found a couple of gifts that any working man or woman would love!

First up is the Sansa Slot Radio Player.  I wanted to see how this was different from any other media player so I gave it a test drive.  

While you can play SD cards on most media players, the Sansa Media Player comes with a slot radio card that is already preloaded with the top 1000 songs from Billboard in the genre you choose.  No downloading required.  So you can start using it right away.  All you have to do is ask your receptionist what her favorite type of music is, order the card and you are ready to go!

Next up, the Brugo mug.  Any coffee drinker will love this innovative mug.  The tip and sip feature is amazing.  It has a control chamber that will adjust your beverage  temperature.  Imagine that!  No more burning your tongue when you take a sip of your freshly brewed Caramel Macchiato (yes! I just gave you the recipe).  I went to the coffee shop and they made my drink right inside of my Brugo.  I was able to ask for it to be prepared extra hot and still enjoy my coffee instantly.  The Brugo comes in several colors so you can literally gift 12 people with a different Brugo.

When purchasing gifts for co-workers, you need to remember that everything is part of the political process.   You can give everyone the same gift if it is something cool like the items I mentioned. 

If you can't swing the cost of equal opportunity gift giving, then make the gifts personal.  If Jenny loves cats, it is perfectly okay to give her a stuffed kitten but can you imagine giving something like that to everyone?  Gift giving suicide. So give cool gifts or personal gifts - nothing in between.
