One thing, I always keep an eye out for throughout the year is Coffee Tumblers, like this one from Starbucks I got for 75% off last Christmas. It's the perfect co-worker gift and you don't even have to wrap it in cellophane just put it on their desk! So you can give just the Tumbler as the gift but it wouldn't look every festive. Or you can pay extra to buy one of Starbuck's packaged Coffee gift sets. Granted the retail price on most tumblers is above $10 so you don't have to worry about people thinking your giving them a cheap gift but personally, I would think its somewhat impersonal.
To make it more festive and more expensive looking (if you just got a regular tumbler from Not Starbucks); I simply got a bow, festive mini sample of coffee from Targets $1 section, a candy cane, and added random candies into a cellophane mini treat bag (that I got from Target last clearance). Just put some tissue paper as a filler, and add your items in on top. I had super cheap mini Christmas card (again from Target clearance last year) that I topped gift off with as well since I didn't plan on wrapping it with cellophane wrap.
You could also keep it very sparse and just put the mini coffee and Candy cane and it would still look fine. But cellophane wrap would definately make it look better.
Either way this is a super super easy gift, that you can pre-plan months ahead of time and assemble in less than 5 minutes.
Other variations:
You can do the Hot Chocolate version with marshmallow instead of a bag of candy.
Or for the tea drinker get a small $1 store jar of honey and put a couple version of tea bags.
