Work Friend Gift Ideas For The Holidays, From Etsy

It may be easy to pick out the perfect present for a close family member or childhood friend you've known all your life, but what about the people you see (at least) eight hours a day, working, commiserating and grabbing after-hours drinks with?

A small, thoughtful gift is a great way to show a coworker friend how much her advice and understanding, witty emails and just her presence means to you. As part of our Etsy gift guide series (also check out some great presents for the hostess in your life), here is a list of nine fun gift ideas that won't break the bank.

Good stuff!

Love, love,love everything featured here! Etsy and The Huffington Post are a wonderful team. If you're gonna buy...buy handmade artisan awesomeness. I really love the notebook and hand knit Mug cozy?

It would be hard to find someone more worthy of this feature. Knot's stuff is bleedin' brilliant.

Wow, thanks for the feature! If I sell a billion or so dollars worth of merchandise, I'm buying Manchester United. Fingers crossed! :)
