Survey: Most Unusual Holiday Gifts Exchanged In the Workplace

If you dread office gift exchanges, this list will give you a lot more to worry about.

CareerBuilder has released its annual survey of the most unusual holiday gifts exchanged in the workplace.

The job search site asked workers across the country to share the weirdest gifts they have received from a fellow employee during the holiday season -- and a coconut bra is just the tip of the iceberg.

Traditional holiday gifts, like ornaments, gift cards, books and candy, still ranked high among this year's answers. The most unusual presents, however, included two left-handed gloves, a jar of gravy and a real stuffed duck.

The survey included more than 3,300 employess and 2,379 hiring managers across industries and company sizes.
