Office gifts

[PHINJ]

Any ideas on small (not expensive) gifts appropriate for a handful of co-workers?

Lottery tickets! Someone here said recently they bought one for a boss and it won about $200.

Our sports editor bought all the golfers in the department a box of Nike Mojo balls. Can't remember what he got everyone else.

Lottery tickets are a good idea, too.

An evening at some pottery firing place ...






















or not.
That's what you get when you're a 20-something working with a bunch of 50-plus women.

I give everyone a small bag of home-baked cookies.

Our receptionist gave everyone some homemade chocolate covered pretzels today. She's only been here a few months, and she's Jewish too, but what a sweetheart! Of course, I've been quoting Jason Lee all damn day now in my head.

I give co-workers I hate copies of Employment Times. They're free and if I'm lucky the hated co-worker will find employment elsewhere.

Last year, I had my candymonger do some nice boxes for everyone in my department. It was $200 and Mrs. MMSW said never again.

This year, I took my little four-man sub-department for dinner. It was $310 and Mrs. MMSW is not to know about it.

Wanna be my boss, good sir?

Baked goods or candy are always a good.

I know some despise gift cards and gift certificates, but they can be well appreciated and very practical. My boss knows I'm big into home improvement, so he gave me a generous gift card to a local hardware store. In return, I gave him gift certificates to his favorite coffee shop across the street and a gift card to Barnes & Noble. As with all gifts, the key is to know the recipient well enough to provide something useful.

who despises gift cards?

Since my love of fast food is no secret, boss got me 2 $10 gift cards for Burger King.

Awesome.

On a previous thread, there was a link to an article about why gift cards supposedly suck. Some don't dig them. Like yourself, I find them very useful.

These guys deserved it. They put up with a lot.

They got me nice presents, too. A gift card and framed photos of three of the people we cover who I hate the most.
