Work Husband Holiday Gift Guide: What To Get The Man Who Keeps The Office Interesting

With any luck, by now you're all set on what to get your work friends. But what about your work husband -- the man who sends you funny (or are they flirty?) emails throughout the week, keeps you awake at corporate functions, is your sounding board for working out problems, and comes to you with his? Now's a good time to give him some token of appreciation for keeping things interesting -- and just being a great friend. Here's a selection of gifts from Etsy to show him you care:

I think if you have a "work husband" you are confused about what actual married people do. Will your "work husband" be holding your hand through contractions? Will he be there in ten minutes flat when your car dies? Will he move across the country with you? Don't cheapen marriage. What you have is a co-worker who has become a friend. If you want a husband, get married.

Work wives, just like real life ones, should keep the relationship on a business and need to know level at all times. Everything else is just confusing and counter productive.

I like the notecards but you lost me a little with some of the other items. I prefer some of the gift ideas on this list. I'm a little put off by the five-fingered running shoes but some of the other suggestions - like the Beertender - are awesome!

So what would be great finds for your husband's work wife? Something that would make her wonder if he was flirting or not. Something to show his appreciation for the fun she brings to his days.

How many women are ready for their husband to follow this article's advice?

Ugh. I've told my husband that I'd be mad if he called a friend at work his "work wife," but I'd hit the roof if he wanted to exchange gifts with a "work wife."

I suspect that if you have a "work husband" or "work wife," your work is too big a part of your life.

Work husband? Does anyone refer to someone as their work husband? If so, stop it immediately.

I actually just heard of this term recently from a friend of mine and she and her co-worker both call each other their "work wife" and "work husband" but they are both single and in their 20s...

I love those 'I am very important' sticky notes. I would love to get those as a gift from a colleague. My wife is planning on buying her boss a couple of books. He's an avid reader and is a huge history buff, so we ordered "Rebirth" by David Longueay (http://rebirthofisrael.com) and are looking for a couple of others. Any suggestions?

I'm getting pretty tired of AOL having headlines/taglines for these articles that are inaccurate. This one was 7 Gifts a Busy Husband would Love, and then I click on it and its for your work friends.

Quit trying to trick people into clicking on crappy articles. It feels like I'm being spammed by AOL & huffpost.
