A gift for the colleague who wants nothing
Short answer: Choose something that gets used up and needs no size. Socks, towels or a gift card land better than something that has to fit.
Avoid anything that needs a size
Clothing for a colleague is difficult, because you do not know their size. Socks and home textiles sidestep the problem. See bamboo socks for men.
Things that get used up
Gifts used every day feel useful rather than dutiful. See bamboo towels.
A gift card is not a bad gift
For a colleague you do not know well, a gift card is a respectful solution. See bamboo clothing for men.
