What are the best gifts for coworkers that are useful but not too personal?

Best useful-but-not-too-personal coworker gifts: a quality notebook, insulated mug, desk organizer, good pens, coffee/tea sampler, portable charger, lunch container, desk plant, or a small local treat. These feel thoughtful without implying anything too intimate.

For most workplaces, aim for neutral, practical, and easy to use. Avoid gifts involving clothing sizes, perfume/cologne, alcohol unless you know it is welcome, overly expensive items, joke gifts that could embarrass someone, or anything with romantic/personal undertones.
