Best gift for a coworker you don't know well
Secret Santa, a farewell card, a welcome gift — you drew a name you can barely place. GiftCue builds safe, specific options instead of a gift card no one remembers.
Build their picker →Why coworker gifts are harder than they should be
Coworker gifts fail two ways: too generic (a mug, a candle, a gift card nobody uses) or too personal (you guessed wrong about something private). GiftCue's questions steer toward safe, work-appropriate categories while still building 12 real options — not one safe default everyone's seen before.
A couple minutes on their likes, location, and the occasion.
A real mix: local experiences, products, gift cards, subscriptions.

Questions
I really don't know anything about them — what do I put in the form?
Start with what you do know: their role, how long they've been there, general vibe (quiet or social, desk-based or on-the-go). GiftCue works fine from partial information — you don't need deep personal details for a coworker gift.
What if this is a group gift, not just from me?
Build it under your name and mention the group in the notes field — 'from the whole team.' The picker link works exactly the same either way.
Is a $7 planning fee worth it for a coworker gift?
If the alternative is a $25 gift card nobody's excited about, $7 to make sure it's something they'd actually pick usually pays for itself in not being the generic gift again this year.
Can I keep the budget low?
Yes — set it as low as $25. GiftCue keeps every option inside whatever budget you set.
