At my last job, I exchanged Christmas gifts with my two closest co-workers each year. The usual gifts were small trinkets from recent trips, gift cards to coffee shops, crates of Florida oranges, and boxes of gourmet tea. We’d take a long lunch break together and open presents and chit-chat. It was a nice way to unwind and kick off the holiday break.
Since I worked in a lab where there were about 300 employees, it was common to give gifts to only a few close co-workers. But for the holidays this year, I’m torn. Bloglovin’ is a small company; there are about 25 people in our NYC office. So would it be weird to get just a few colleagues gifts? Should I skip it altogether? What if someone gets me a gift and I didn’t get them something?
What are your thoughts? Do you buy gifts for co-workers? If so, what are your go-to gifts?
