When giving out gifts to your office colleagues, there are a number of factors to take into account to make sure that what you usually are giving out is appropriate as possible. I have gotten quite a lot of gifts that did not realistically do me any good and only brought me more health issues to start with. Many of which include a gift certificate for Starbucks that is not even enough to obtain a small coffee unless you add cash to it, a pirated DVD of an old film I have not heard of, a set of Christmas balls with a ripped box and a glass mug which has a crack.
It is funny to discover gifts like these knowing that you have no use for any of it. So just for other people's sake, I'm coming up with a tested and approved list of gift-giving do's and don'ts to make sure that what you are giving is something that the recipient will certainly appreciate because it is something that they can make use of.
In order to maintain peace and order among your colleagues at work, make sure to come up with gifts that are of the same value. If possible, you may purchase several items in bulk to get more discounts and to avoid envy among your gift recipients. Based on my own experience, people tend to show and tell the gifts they got from a person and if one finds that the gift you gave to him or her seem way cheaper than the what you got for the others, he or she will surely feel bad about it and you don't want that.
Try to stay away from giving out perfumes, colognes, facial products such as moisturizers, facial wash or anything that could trigger any skin irritations due to chemical reaction. Everyone has a different skin type from others and what works for your skin might only harm them. And please be mindful of your colleagues' culture, belief or religion. You don't want to give something that could be blasphemous for them and you'll only end up insulting them. They might take this negatively and get back at you. The least thing you can do is to do a little research about your colleague's culture first before buying them a gift according to your belief.
Do come up with a gift that is truly unique and practical. This means that it is something new, something that they can learn from and something that they can use. It will surely boost their morale when they receive gifts that appreciate. When handing out the gifts to your colleagues, don't make such a big fuss about it. Everybody will know that you have given out gifts for everyone when they each get theirs so there is no need for a production number when handing them out. This is not a relief good distribution event so keep it down.
Finally, unless other employees are giving gifts to your boss and there are no issues about it, you may do so. This is an extremely sensitive issue because a lot of the bosses I know do not appreciate receiving gifts from their employees since they don't want to add up to their employees' additional costs and they prefer if they would just buy things they need more. It is also not acceptable for employees to provide expensive gifts to their bosses that are more than what they can afford. The boss will not feel very good in relation to it, thinking that you ought to spend on yourself more than him.
