Break a Parts for Office Holiday Gifts

Ever received a gift from someone from the office and was totally unprepared?  A great solution is to buy make-up and lotion kits that you can break a part and give to multiple co-workers.  It won't break the bank and you can stock up on small kits throughout the year.  Here are a few fun ideas:

Lip Balms

Everyone can use lip balm, especially during the winter months.  New seasonal balms start coming out in October so stock up on some and have them handy in your office drawer.

Mary Kay has a new limited-edition lip balm set, TheBalmDotCom, for $40.  This set includes four tinted lipbalms in pink, plum, orange and red.  Break the set to give to four co-workers for $10 a gift.


Rachel Roy has a lip balm trio set available at Kohl's.  The Rachel Roy EOS set includes organic lip balm in strawberry kiwi, grapefruit, and orange blossom.  The set is $12, $4 per co-worker.















Nail Polish

Check out Nails Inc. Be Gelous Kit.  Great gift for co-workers who enjoy color.  The kit sells for $29 at Sephora ($84 value).  Less than $5 per co-worker when split in six.

Also available from Sephora is the Debrah Lippman I've Gotta Be Me 15th Anniversary Nail Set.  The set includes six lush colors in cream and glitter finishes for $34 or less than $6 per co-worker.

Lotion

Simply can't lose on this one.  Everyone should have a bottle of hand cream at work.

Available through ULTA, AHAVA has a special holiday hand cream kit for $20.  Kit comes with two mineral hand creams (3.4 oz).  Enjoy 20% off your entire ULTA purchase now through December 31st, 2014.  Use promo code 200493 at checkout.

Another great set is Burt's Bees Bee Nourished Honey Gift Set for $25.  The set includes 6 oz honey body lotion, honey foot cream, honey hand cream, and honey lip balm.  That's $6.25 per co-worker.  All orders over $40 include free ground shipping!













Gift Cards

"Some of my co-workers are not into beauty products," you might say.  How can this possibly be?   Don't fret, you can still break a part gift card packages.  iTUNES sells a pack of 3 $10 gift cards ($30 total).  Give one of these for that hard to shop for co-worker.


You can keep these sets inside one of your desk drawers along with some blank cards.  Never again will you be unprepared for the surprise holiday or birthday gift!
