Gift for "Congrats on the job"
I searched unsuccessfully.
One of my really good guy friends just got an awesome job. He's going to be working in a cubicle. I wanted to get him something as a congratulations, but what would be good? I wanted it to be something he can put in his cube, and I need it to be on the inexpensive side. Thanks!

When I got laid off from my job a year ago, someone was going to take over my desk and do something different. Her old temp agency came by and dropped off one of those potted bambo plants with a "good luck" card... on my last day on the job.
One of the guys told me to put salt in the soil.
I didn't... but the plant might be a good idea since the release oxygen. Cube life can get kind of stuffy.

In the past I've given paper weights, picture frames, a tiny cactus plant, & a mini-wood mail sorter. They're all inexpensive & they'll look nice on his desk.

Gift certificate for a lunch-type restauant like Chili's or Fridays
A desk calendar
A manly picture frame that he can insert a nice photo into
A promise to take him out for happy hour drinks after his first week (he'll need it!)

Check out this stuff if you want to go down that route. I will tell you this though. I think it's a mistake to be all fancy at the junior level. I feel that a lot of things like that can rub someone the wrong way. I've had people give me comments that I wasn't exactly sure how to interpret. The card holder is a nice idea but is he even in a profession where people give out cards? Most people aren't.
The plant is a good idea as long as it doesn't attract flies. I had a bamboo and it was awesome but a chinese woman at my work had a bamboo that was seriously attracting fruit flies. We were high up in a skyscraper so I have no idea where they came from or if they came with the plant. We made fun of her. Get a plant that doesn't attract insects and you're golden. I used to sit there wanting to break our cold fluorescent lights and those plants made me so much happier. It's honestly really uplifting. I have my own office now and want a plant too but I'm not sure where to put it since my whole office is full of documents and files.

A plant might also make a nice gift.

He's pretty much obsessed with it! He kept playing it all the way to the bar, and all the way home. I did a good job!
