After extensive research on the web, I’m pretty confident that there’s definitely something on this list that will work for all types of co-workers – whether they love a good cup of tea, whether they hate the clutter of the office or they can just do a little de-stress. And best of all, I made sure to stick to a strict £10 budget.
