Inappropriate Office Gifts
Gifts HR wishes you wouldn't give. But you will anyway.
Why This Vibe
Some gifts play it safe. These gifts look at the line, acknowledge it, and take one deliberate step over it. They're for workplaces where people actually like each other and have developed the kind of friendship where boundaries are more like suggestions. Not for the faint of heart, the overly professional, or anyone who's ever unironically said 'let's circle back.'
The Vibe in Action
- “I tolerate you more than most people”
- “You're my favorite coworker to complain about others with”
- “Thanks for not reporting me to HR. Yet.”
- “World's most adequate employee”
Perfect For
- Work besties who've seen each other at the holiday party
- Teams that bond over inappropriate group chat humor
- The coworker who already knows all your secrets
- Anyone leaving a job and burning bridges for warmth

- Can I give these to anyone at work?
- Know your audience. Best friend at work? Yes. New hire you just met? Probably hold off.
- What if someone gets offended?
- Then they weren't the right recipient. These gifts require a certain... emotional constitution.
- Will these get me in trouble?
- Depends entirely on your workplace culture and how much your coworkers like you. Choose wisely.
