Work place holiday gifts

A few months ago, I started a supervisory position.  I am struggling with what to do for the holidays. If I give gifts, it would be for 7-10 people depending on how far out I go into the company.  3 people are not in my office but contribute to the team.  If it matters the team of 7 do a secret santa each year too that I would be part of.

So...

1. Do you get a gift from your boss?

2. Should I get everyone something?

3. Any ideas on inexpensive gifts that might be appropriate?  (1 guy, rest women, variety of ages)

TIA!!!

Re: Work place holiday gifts

  • i think if you're getting gifts for coworkers, who vary in age and all kinds of other factors, do something edible.  especially since you'll have a number of people to give gifts to.  one year, i made fancy chocolate-covered pretzels (covered in tiny marshmallows, tiny peanut butter chips, crushed candy canes, etc.).  it was fun to make, everyone loved it, and the cost per person was reasonable.  if i tried to come up with something unique for each of the ten people in my department, i think i would lose my mind.
  • Yes, my boss gets me a gift, I usually get a personal check or gift card from her. I would get something edible as PP suggested so you don't have to spend much, I would get for the 10 people.

     

  • I agree with pammieface, you should do something edible. Homemade cookies or chocolate-covered pretzels are something that could be considered.
  • Go with ornaments for the tree -- give everybody an ornament -- or go the edible route: cookies, brownies, fudge, etc.
  • Thanks all.  I like the ideas of cookie platters with a personalized ornament as the decoration.

  • Some kind of gift basket; all should be similar but slightly different. 

    Gift cards to something like Dunkin Donuts. 

    Bottles of wine   If you buy a case, the cost per bottle will be less & you may have some for yourself or as hostess gifts should the need arise in your personal life.
