Office Christmas Gifts
Hey ladies,
Co-workers are starting to pass our their office Christmas gifts, and I wanted to run an idea by you all. Instead of getting something small for individual co-workers, I was considering baking some cookies and bringing them in. I feel it'd be cheaper and possibly a little easier... but what do you think? Is that sub-par?
(To give you an idea, my one co-worker gave out scent diffuser, my boss gave out calendars and scented candles, another co-worker did ornaments....)
Re: Office Christmas Gifts
I love that idea - I wish I knew who exactly to buy for. I used to give out jars of peanuts, but I didn't feel like it this year. You think anyone would mind if I gave out left over bottles of water? Oh well, I tried.
I always do above and beyond for my admin - but I think for my bosses (I have 2) - I'm giving one a starbucks giftcard and the other a bottle of wine. Then again, I don't know if they'll even give me anything. I mean, the one didn't even give me a wedding gift.
When I was working in a med school department, one of the doctors would bring in a jar of honey from his own hives for everyone in the department. It's still difficult for me to wrap my mind around people raising their own bees.
Still, it was a neat gift.
I think it's a fine idea.
I usually do something like that to avoid the sometimes awkwardness of office git giving. That way, you're doing something nice for your co-workers, but you won't put them in an uncomfortable position if they didn't get you anything.
