Do you give gifts to others at work? If so are you done with your holiday shopping? Do you get your boss or does your boss give you anything?

Do you get your boss or does your boss give you anything? Previous boss bought me but this one so far has not. I bought previous bosses in other companies but not recently.

Do you get your boss or does your boss give you anything? I always get my boss a little something for Christmas and have had presents from him and his wife in the past.

I generally do not give gifts to others at work, though I did bring in large trays of homemade cookies for our building.
I am not done with my holiday shopping, but I have so little that I do, it doesn't matter.
My boss and I don't exchange gifts, though I am considering baking a batch of biscotti for him (he's Italian and loves his espresso). Previous bosses normally have given me gifts (sighs... and sometimes large cash bonuses as well...)

I do give a few very inexpensive gifts to a few co workers. Coffee cup with home made cookies, one year some 99 cent letter openers that were actually really nice, more thought that counts type stuff. I am SO not done with shopping  It is going to be a bear this weekend. My boss and I do exchange gifts, I think this year I am giving a beautiful wall clock. We have a good working friendship. |

Do you give gifts to others at work? No. I stopped a few years ago due to expense.
If so are you done with your holiday shopping? Almost
Do you get your boss or does your boss give you anything? Previous boss and I exchanged gifts. I gave a family gift to him, nothing personal. He always came through with a nice gift for me in a new ornament in a series each year. I will miss adding to my collection this year. New boss, don't know yet. I have a small gift "again family gift" to give. We'll see.

Do you give gifts to others at work? No, I used to, but like others money is tighter each year, I do bring in some snacks like cookies or brownies. This week one person is bringing a snack a day. I may bring in fresh fruit instead, so many sweets lately!
If so are you done with your holiday shopping? For the most part, I do have to get a few more this weekend.
Do you get your boss or does your boss give you anything? Depends on the year, this year I will.

Gifts at work, NO, I do only two and the last few years has been even fewer. We celebrate with a grazing day usually and cookies, but other than that no.

New boss surprised me with an e-mail asking me to order gifts for the staff from an online food company. Said in the e-mail to include one for me too. (Surprise.....order your own LOL! - then process the expense report) Boss did not come into the office as sheduled, worked from home for the holidays, so the gift I bought for bossie was used by me and my family:) Yes, managing change here. Tis another year upon us:) Happy New Year Everyone.

Due to the snow and bad weather in December, my boss and I (along with others) were snowed in and therefore did not manage to see each before we finished for Christmas.
However he did mention he had a gift for me which I received yesterday. I have to say it was a lovely surprise and very kind of him.
It truly is the thought that counts and I believe all PA's should be rewarded, no matter what the gift.
