Funny meeting and conference-call gifts

Funny meeting and conference-call gifts speak to the small realities of working together: the agenda that keeps growing, the call that starts with a search for the unmute button and the quick check-in that fills the afternoon. They’re a fitting choice for coworkers, remote teammates and work friends who share your appreciation for getting through it all with a little humor. The best match feels like a nod to something you’ve both sat through, rather than a complaint about the person receiving it.

When choosing a gift, let the recipient’s sense of humor and workplace set the tone. A line you’d send a close coworker in a private message may not be the one you’d choose for a manager or an office gift exchange. Consider whether they’ll enjoy sharing the humor with the team or prefer keeping it out of the conference-call camera frame. For a work anniversary, farewell or thank-you after a long project, look for a sentiment that recognizes your shared experience and keeps the affection clear. You can appreciate someone’s company without wanting another meeting with them.
