Birthdays, Christmas, just for fun, there are so many reasons you might be buying gifts. Christmas is right around the corner (Yes! It is!), and so is gift-giving time. Christmas is my second favorite time of year, after Halloween and Autumn of course, so I am pretty excited that my two favorite times of year are coming! And in that excitement, I am already thinking about gifts! I love giving and receiving gifts during the holidays. Something about it just feels warm and cozy.

If you are anything like me, you are already preparing. In general, I usually procrastinate, especially on buying gifts, because I am SO BAD at making decisions and buying gifts for people. But, because I am so bad at it, I have decided that this year I am going to start early. This year I am going to start buying gifts now so that way when the time comes, I can simply pull them out of my secret hiding spot.

There are so many different people in our lives, and everyone has unique tastes and interests. But no matter how well you know a person, it can still be so difficult to figure out what the perfect present will be. So, in order to help me and you, I wanted to create some lists for all the different people in my life. It will help me with starting the idea process, and maybe help others in the process.

This list in particular is for the workaholic in your life. You know the people, always working, always productive. I strive to be them as I lay in bed, being the complete opposite of productive. These people are already so organized and motivated, but we can all use some helpful tools in our life.

Planning Gifts

1. A Brand New Planner

My all-time favorite planner brand is Happy Planner. This one is perfect for the student in your life, but there is a myriad of options from regular planners to budget or teacher planners. There is something for everyone.

2. Planner Accessories

Do they already have a planner? Get them something to help add some spice to their planning life. This set of 1,106 stickers has something for each month of the year. Sometimes it isn’t always about the planning, but making the planning pretty as well.

3. Desk Calender

This is great for seeing your entire month at a glance. Makes it easy when making plans, and knowing just how much work you have to do that month in a super visual way. Plus, the designs of the one I have linked above is to die for!

Stationary Gifts

4. Highlighters

Specifically this brand of highlighters, Mildliner. I use these every day and can attest to the beautiful colors and high quality. These will help any workaholic remember important dates and organize all of their thoughts.

5. Cute Notebooks

I promise you, no workaholic or stationery lover has enough notebooks. I promise you! These adorable cactus notebooks are the perfect size for noting important dates and information or taking notes on school subjects during those late-night study sessions. There are so many other notebook options based on what the gift receiver likes, you just have to look.

6. Pens

Another thing workaholics can never have too many of, pens. I love these Frixion ones because they are erasable, which is super helpful, especially for those who like to write in their planners and bullet journals with pens. These also come in all colors or just black.

Organizational Gifts

7. Desk Organizer

Once they have all the pens they could ever ask for, your productive friend or loved one probably needs something to organize it all with! This desk organizer has room for all those office supplies, pens, and highlighters.

8. Fun File Folders

Now that their pens are organized, they need somewhere to organize all their paperwork or school work! These adorable file folders are 10 times better than any vanilla manilla folders you can get at a regular office supply store! They add such a nice pop of color to any office or workspace. Plus, the beautiful thing is, if you don’t like these, there are options for any and all aesthetics you can think of.

9. Phone, Wallet, and Key Dock

Workaholics are always up and around town, running errands. But when they get home, it would be nice to have a place to throw keys, wallet, phone, and anything else in their pockets. This beautiful wooden dock is the perfect solution and will take one more thing off their plates when they get home from a busy day of productivity.


It can be so difficult to find the perfect gift for someone you love. Hopefully, something on this list sparked some imagination and you found the perfect gift for the workaholic in your life.

More gift guides like this one will be coming in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

Thanks for reading!
