Want to be the best office Santa? \u00a0Here are 5 things to keep in mind when shopping for the perfect holiday gift for the office.<\/p>\n
Be a cheapskate.<\/strong><\/p>\n Lavish gifts are\u00a0inappropriate\u00a0for the workplace, and embarrassing to receive. You are just trying to be nice and spread a little cheer, not make their whole year.<\/p>\n Make it personal, but not too personal.<\/strong><\/p>\n Your gift should show that you think well of your recipient, cross the line into impropriety. I think the best office holiday gifts are items that can be used at work, such as a nice pen set or personal organizer. \u00a0Baked goods and a store gift cards are other great options.<\/p>\n Don’t forget your assistant.<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s always a good idea to show your appreciation for support staff.<\/p>\n Be discrete.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you aren’t buying gifts for the whole office, be discrete with your gift-giving. Lunch is a great time to exchange gifts.<\/p>\n No gag gifts.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Why take the risk of giving offense? A small, sincere gift is always the way to go. Save the gags for your frat brothers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Want to be the best office Santa?
