It’s Valentine’s Day and you’re single, but this doesn’t mean that you can’t celebrate the holiday. Instead of fixating on your singlehood, this could be the perfect time to give thanks to your office friends, as they have been there for you during tense performance reviews, countless meetings, and nerve-wracking presentations.
Searching for the perfect gift for your office BFF doesn’t have to be stressful, as there are plenty of gift options out there that won’t send confusing signals. After all, it’s still Valentine’s Day, and you wouldn’t want to give the wrong impression. So steer clear of anything with hearts, flowers, or chocolates in a heart-shaped box, and you’ll be golden during this gift-giving holiday.
Here are some of the best Valentine’s Day gift ideas for your office best friend.

Get him or her a Fujifilm INSTAX Mini 8 Instant Camera ($59.95). Available in colors such as pale blue, pink, sunshine yellow, navy, cherry red, and white, this point and shoot camera allows you to print pictures instantly, just like the iconic Polaroid cameras for half the price.
For your meticulously neat office friend
