Holidays Holidays call for gift-giving. In line with this, we might again find ourselves stressing over what to give to our bosses and colleagues. We have to think about what to give to our boss, fellow employees, and subordinates. Before you panic and rush to the nearest shopping store, read the following tips about gift ideas.
Managers and executives receive the highest pay at work, so finding gift items for them is certainly the most challenging part of the mission. Here you should select items that are thoughtful yet not so expensive. Note that shelling out a huge amount of money may be seen as a campaign for promotion
When you scout for gifts for your boss or manager, think about class. You can ask his secretary about his hobbies and interests. You may offer a good bottle of liquor, a box of his favorite cigar, or a drinking accessory. A year of subscription to his favorite newspaper or magazine is another good treat. Just do yourself a favor and get rid of gift certificates.
For your co-workers, think about the items that draw the line between your close friends and mere acquaintances. Be careful in giving the gift though to get rid of relationship issues. If you work in a small company, being generous to all your co-workers is easier. Otherwise, limit your gift shopping to your department.
Stick to items that are simple yet delightful. You could pick common office items such as calculator, clock, and pens but exert efforts on finding items that are cool and pretty. You could also give functional items such as drinking bottles, umbrellas, and fans. The only rule here of course is to not let anyone feel left out.
Your subordinates are the easiest persons to please. However, it does not mean that you should be less thoughtful about their gift. Items such as mugs, a a planner or a desktop would be fine. A box of chocolates or cookies is also a good way to make them feel they are appreciated. Be sure to avoid gift items that have sexual connotations-you don't want to spend the holidays with a pending case of harassment.
