I found this article about office gift giving which I thought would be nice to share with The Moms Buzz readers. These are useful and basic guidelines about office gift giving in case you have some doubt when shopping for your co-workers. It is targeted mostly to the working woman in an office, but the tips provided below can be certainly applied to other situations as well (i.e., neighbors, mailmen, etc.):
- Unless you know the person's interests or hobbies, keep gifts as general and tasteful as possible - love this tip!
- Avoid gifts that are too personal or "gag" gifts that people may find offensive.
- Be careful about food gifts because of dietary restrictions or possible food allergies you may not be aware of.
- Don't even think about spending more that the stated limit. Keep it equitable.
- Avoid gift cards. They can give the impression that you didn't make an effort.
- Be sure that your gifts are on time and nicely wrapped. This shows that you did make an effort.
- If you have a close relationship with a co-worker, find a time and place away of the office to exchange gifts. If it's personal, keep it personal. - I like this one too!
Above all, remember what the holidays are about and especially what they are not about! Office gift giving is not about furthering your career or impressing the boss. It is simple act of appreciation and generosity that will be remembered for many holiday seasons to come.
