Office Depot, Inc. Takes the Guessing out of Gift Giving with the Season’s Greatest Gear

Office Depot, Inc. (NASDAQ: ODP), a leading global provider of office products, services, and solutions, through its Office Depot and OfficeMax brands, is making it easier than ever to find thoughtful and practical gifts for even the toughest names on holiday shopping lists. From CEOs looking to embrace the latest tech, to friends with finicky tastes, to co-workers who seemingly have everything, Office Depot has gifts to stuff in everyone’s stocking.

Between trying to decipher hobbies, interests and needs of family, friends and co-workers, searching for the perfect gift for everyone can be stressful for shoppers during the holiday season. Returning this year is the award-winning Co-Worker Collection, a curated shopping experience tailored to co-workers’ quirks and idiosyncrasies.

Shoppers can avoid giving another generic, boring gift with these ideas to make their loved ones’ every day special:

For the Boss Who Still Asks for Printed Copies: They may have the vision and all the right skills, but not all of the right gear. Upgrade the CEO in your life with a new Lexar® JumpDrive® USB 2.0 flash drive or high-tech Samsung Galaxy Tab™ E Lite 7.0", 8GB, Android™ 4.4 KitKat tablet to bring their presentations into the 21st century.

For the Do-er: They go to the gym every morning before work, have a neatly organized to-do list and nail every presentation. They’re an organized go-getter. Fuel their ambition with the TUL Note-taking System. This fully customizable notebook can be tailored to fit any note-taking style, scheduling and organization needs. It holds all notes, deliverables and color-coded line items in one place to keep their drive strong in the New Year.

For the Kid at Heart: They enjoy life’s little moments and can always be found in the break room or with their hand in a cookie jar. Even though they are full grown, they still think snack time is the best time. Indulge their youthful spirit this holiday season with an assortment of candy and snacks, such as a tin of Walker Shortbread cookies or a box of delicious Godiva chocolates found at Office Depot.

For the Parent Who Makes It Look Easy: Between juggling three kids, client deliverables and deadlines, they make never-ending days look like a breeze. Help them power through their never-ending to-do list with a variety of K-Cup coffee!

For the Creative Minded Co-worker: They are full of unique ideas and out-of-the-box thinking, which conveniently end up all over their desk in a clutter. Co-workers like this need the See Jane Work faux leather portfolio to avoid the mess and keep their creative energy where they can find it.

Skip the headache this year and keep the holidays festive and fun with the Co-Worker Collection, and other exciting gifts, at an Office Depot or an OfficeMax retail store near you.
