Then you wonder or you realize maybe you didn't know that much about the co-worker to begin with. You start to think with your feet in their shoes. How do they think about themselves? What you like or what you think is not necessarily what they like and think. You now stop to take the time and start considering what do they enjoy? What do you know about them? What are their hobbies, likes, and dislikes? You start to think about the things you've noticed. Maybe on their lunch breaks they pull out books and do readings, or maybe they like to do puzzles. That could lead into a good gift to buy a book or buy a puzzle book for them with a stylish bookmark. That could be a good choice.
