The 10 dumbest holiday gifts workers have given, received

by Christian Schappel

It takes a special kind of person to give the gifts that appear on the lists below. 

CareerBuilder provides the gift that keeps on giving. Each year, it surveys the U.S. workforce in search of the most unusual gifts employees have given or received from co-workers.

If you recall, last year’s survey produced gems such as:

• A box of Hot Pockets (A man’s gotta eat, right?)
• A chess piece (That’s right, just one piece — perhaps there was some hidden meaning behind it, i.e., “checkmate”)
• A voucher for a free lawn game the gifter invented (Gotta get the word-of-mouth going!)
• Zombie action figures (Zombies were so last year!), and
• A Ziploc bag with just enough coffee to make one pot (Presumably to perk everyone up who participated in that gift exchange).

This year’s list is arguably better. To come up with it, CareerBuilder surveyed 3,602 full-time employees, and 2,326 HR and hiring managers.
