No one wants to get stuck with the dud gift at the office’s white elephant exchange. Here are gift ideas that everyone will admire. From locally made candies to completely hip bison-shaped paperweights (they exist), here are some generic presents to please all co-employees—and they’re from local merchants.

1. For your connoisseur cubicle neighbor, a gift certificate custom designed by you at ShopBuffalo.com to Fiamma Steak, or The Wine Room.

2. Buffalo paper weight from Room. Way trendier than using the tape dispenser to keep memos in their place.

3. “No” button from Positively Main Street says your grumpy boss’s favorite two-letter word in eight different ways.

4. Multi-strand leather bracelets from Wild Things Buffalo. Give the fashion-forward receptionist a popular accessory with a local distinction.

5. Buffalo ornament from Village Artisans. Maps of the Queen City cut out in the shape of our favorite roaming pal.

6. Stationary set from Everything Elmwood. Because you’re tired of getting notes on sticky yellow squares.

7. Emergency drawer necessities like lip balm, solid perfume and compacts from Cats Like Us.

8. There’s always the office golfer. Sets of balls with the iconic “I ♥Buffalo” can be individualized with “Irish” and “Polish.” Thus decreasing the likelihood of the regift.

9. Ribbon Candy from Sweet Jenny’s. Really, who doesn’t like ribbon candy?

10. Buffalo Dining, cocktail and shopping cards. $20 per pack, with a $10 coupon on 52 cards. Our math isn’t great, but that seems like a bargain.
