What are good inexpensive gifts for coworkers?

I have been at my job for 5 years and really like and enjoy working with my teammates. I want to get small presents for my coworkers just to express my appreciation. So what would be a good gift that everyone would like, that isn't too expensive (since I'll need to buy about 10 of them)?

(Also, one of my coworkers is retiring, so if you have ideas for presents that may be especially appropriate for that, I'd appreciate that too, but this gift I may give separate from all the others, so it doesn't necessarily have to be the same as the gift everone else is getting.)

Every job I apply for wants me to include a cover letter, but I just don't know what to write. Are they really that important? Are there any best practices to follow for what to include and what to leave on your resume?

I've been working at the same company since last summer, and I'm planning to ask for a raise at my upcoming yearly review. This is the first "real" job I've ever had, and I'm not totally sure how to go about asking for more money. Any tips on what to say, how much to push (if at all), whether to go in with a specific amount in mind, etc. would be most appreciated!

I'm currently in the process of looking for a job and every time I get asked "What are your salary expectations?" in an interview I get nervous. I don't want to say a number that's too low and not get paid what I'm worth, but I also don't want to say a number that's too high and risk losing the offer. How do I navigate this question?

I've always dreamed of pursuing a career as a private chef and have decided to give it a shot. Before I dive in, I want to learn more about the steps I need to take to get there. Should I go to culinary school? Are there certifications or licenses I need? How do I get restaurant experience? How do I develop my cooking skills? I really appreciate the info.

I love photography and think it would be super cool to pursue it as a career! But I've heard that it's really hard to break in so I'm not even sure where to start. What steps should I take to become a professional photographer?

I want to become a bartender but I don't know how to land my first gig. Every bartending job wants experience but where do I get that experience? Are bartending classes or training worth it?
