Mini gifts for coworkers

An office present has to survive being looked at by everyone, which rules out most of what a search returns. What is left divides in two. The token is the first sort: a thumb-sized figure with a printed card, sold in boxes of twelve to a hundred, bought once and handed out over a morning. The card carries the message and the figure is what makes the card survive the drive home. The second sort is the single desk piece, and the joke on it has to still be funny in June.

Budget usually arrives fixed on this page, a secret santa cap, or a number per head from a manager, and the shelves rearrange around it cleanly because so much here is counted. Under five dollars a head is the token, the keyring and the pen; between five and fifteen is the boxed set of bath minis or a small candle; above that is one present for one person. If the number has to cover forty desks, the bulk page is the one to start on: it holds nothing that is not sold by the box.
