The Grafter Gift Guide | What the Professional in Your Life Really Wants This Christmas
New KeepCup for your eco-conscious brother, airline voucher for your wanderlusting empty-nester parents, Dry Robe for your sea swimming sister…you’ve ticked off everyone on your nice list, but with Christmas right around the corner, what do you get for the person who spends most of their time juggling meetings, emails, and deadlines?
Shopping for the modern professional isn’t easy – they’ve already got the latest gadgets, a shelf full of productivity books, and probably a coffee subscription or two. But don’t worry – we’ve got you covered.
This year, we’ve put together the ultimate Grafter Gift Guide, packed with thoughtful, practical, and stylish ideas that will make your favourite professional smile (and maybe even help them tick off a few more to-dos). From wellness boosts to work-from-home essentials, here are our top picks for the season – many from brands we love and partner with right here at Grafter!
1. A Staycation at Glasson Lakehouse
Everyone needs a break, and there’s no better place to unwind than at the stunning Glasson Lakehouse in County Westmeath.
Whether it’s soaking in the outdoor hot tubs, taking a serene lakeside walk, or indulging in their award-winning dining, a gift card for Glasson Lakehouse offers the perfect escape. Give the gift of rest and relaxation to help the professional in your life recharge for the year ahead.
2. A Cosy WFH Set from Human Collective
Elevate their work-from-home wardrobe (and hybrid productivity!) with a comfy-yet-stylish set from Human Collective. Known for their premium loungewear and commitment to inclusivity and sustainability, Human Collective’s cosy sets are ideal for those Zoom calls that don’t require a suit. It’s the perfect blend of comfort and professionalism, and your recipient will thank you every time they wrap themselves in these luxurious basics.
3. Desk Plants for a Wellness Boost
Bring a little greenery into their workspace with a low-maintenance desk plant. Plants like succulents, peace lilies, or snake plants not only brighten up a desk but also improve air quality and reduce stress levels. For an extra-special touch, check out Dublin’s The Garden in Powerscourt Townhouse for beautifully potted plants that are as aesthetically pleasing as they are practical.
4. Meditation Class Vouchers
When things get hectic at the office, help the professional in your life find their zen with vouchers for a meditation or mindfulness class. Professionals often feel the weight of deadlines, endless emails, and fast-paced schedules, so gifting them a chance to pause and reset is priceless. Local studios like The Dublin Mindfulness & Compassion Centre offers specific classes for classes for beginners and seasoned meditators alike – the perfect way to start the new year with clarity and calm.
5. Noise-Cancelling Headphones
For those hybrid workers who split their time between busy coworking spaces and home offices, a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones is a game-changer (especially if their commuting regularly on public transport!).
Options like the Bose QuietComfort series or Sony WH-1000XM5 allow them to focus without distractions, whether they’re tackling a deadline or tuning into a team meeting.
6. Productivity Tech: The Rocketbook Smart Notebook
Take it from Team Grafter: unless it’s on paper, it doesn’t exist.
For those who juggle digital diaries with a classic notepad, the Rocketbook Smart Notebook combines the traditional feel of pen and paper with the convenience of cloud storage. Users can write their notes, scan them with the Rocketbook app, and upload them to platforms like Google Drive or Dropbox. It’s the ultimate productivity tool for a professional who’s always on the go.
7. Gym Membership or Wellness Perks
Encourage healthy habits with a gym membership or wellness perks like yoga classes or swim passes. Many Grafter members take advantage of the wellness initiatives offered by our coworking spaces, so why not extend that to a gift? Whether it’s a pass for POWER Gym or access to a local pilates studio, this is a gift that supports both physical and mental health.
Honourable Mention: The Gift of Flexible Workspace
And finally, for the ultimate professional gift, why not offer the gift of a Grafter membership? Whether it’s a hot desk for a remote worker or a private office for a newly minted solopreneur, Grafter’s flexible workspaces provide everything a professional could need – from networking opportunities to meeting room hours and premium coffee, all in inspired surroundings.
The Perfect Professional Present Awaits
Christmas gifting doesn’t have to be stressful – especially when you’re shopping for the modern professional. With these thoughtful ideas, you’ll not only impress the professional in your life with your creativity, but also make their day – both in and out of the office – a little brighter.
