Christmas at the Office
Looking for that perfect gift to spread joy at the office? Perhaps these ideas will help one decide what can be done to get everyone in the Christmas spirit.Christmas Gift Cards
Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a gift card. This takes away the stress of having to figure out what it is that each person at the office likes. Picking a store like Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, or even a restaurant and put an appropriate amount on there, are few of the great options –depending, of course, on the importance of the person to you. Gift cards are also personalized so no one knows what anyone else received.
Christmas Snacks
Probably the safest bet, and the easiest at that, is getting a great batch of Christmas cookies or cupcakes for everyone. Everyone gets the same gift and has a great time sharing in the holiday cheer.
Uniformity
To appease the person in the cubicle next to you, who you’re not exactly fond of, you do not have to spend a fortune. These are, after all, just your co-workers. Getting something that everyone will be able to enjoy will also alleviate the stress on pocket.
Christmas Cards
Not exactly original; however, Christmas cards show the colleagues that you were thinking about them in the form of a witty poem, a funny holiday joke, or a sentimental anecdote.
Be Selective
Quite frankly, not everyone in the office deserves the utmost recognition. If there are a few people in the office who have proven themselves loyal or just plain kind, it doesn’t hurt to spring for a little something to brighten their Christmas season. Great meaningful gifts include different types of hot chocolate or imported candies. Everyone likes a stocking stuffer, especially one that’s edible. You can also give the colleagues something personal like a sweater from their fraternity or sorority, maybe find out what their favourite drink is and wrap it up, even better, a book from their favourite author(s). It shows that you are paying attention to them and also that you care about the professional relationship that has been built over the time.
One does not necessarily have to break the bank for people you work with. The most meaningful gifts are always those that are personal. A thoughtful gift for the woman that works across from you or the boss could get you further than is expected in the professional world.
