Best Christmas Gifts for Coworkers

2. Motivational Water Bottle
Drinking enough water is extremely important and super hard to do! Especially at work! I always keep some water at my desk, but it’s usually in a 16 to 32 ounce container.

This gallon water bottle reduces the need for refills and encourages coworkers to drink more water which improves their overall health.
