what do you like to receive...
from your boss at christmas?
i'm stumped as to what to get my admins this year, and obviously time is running out!
so far i have these ideas:
1. $50 gift cards to a spa
2. some type of novelty food item tehy can share at home (but i dont like this as there is so much food everywhere this time of year!) vermont brownie company has some nice gift boxes as well as some of the local cheese and coffee makers.
3. restaurant and/or movie gift cards
i'm stumped! i dont like to necessarily give the same gift, but i like them to be similar so they can swap around if they want (last year i gave them kits from stonewall kitchen).

I work for attorneys. My bosses have given me everything from spa days to a 37" LCD TV. This year I got 2 VIP tickets to Cirque de Soleil and dinner. I pretty much have the best gift-giving bosses ever.

But I would be ecstatic at a spa gift card.

GIft cards sound great!
Personally I would love a spa day gift card, but there are some women who don't go to spas (I find it hard to believe they actually exist though). So if there is a chance they wouldn't like them then you could do restaurants. Or even a gift card to a big mall in the area and they could use it for whatever. My mom is the head of her department in a hospital and she always gets a mall gift card at Christmas from her boss.
My old boss used to give us a pretty hefty Christmas bonus. We don't get those anymore, because the budget can't stand from them. Our new boss gave us gift certificates to a restaurant last year. I miss the bonus, but I love my new boss, so it's worth it.

I'd choose the spa though - I think that a boss saying "hey, relax!" is a good message to send

I wouldn't mind any sort of gift card that was given to me.....any present at all is generous in my opinion.

lol, no spa certificate because they were all guys
FI actually gets a coupon for a free live Christmas tree and a gift certificate for Honeybaked Ham (don't know if you have one of those, they sell nice hams and turkeys). It's pretty awesome.

In the last couple of years that I was a director, I would give very small gifts to my staff (a small notebook of handmade paper, interesting stationery, etc.) along with a $50 bill so there was a little concrete present and then cash to do whatever they wanted. They were sorely underpaid so I thought cash was best for them.
[QUOTE]$10 is usually a yankee swap limit....do you have one comign up that you need a gift for?

We do need to get a gift for the white elephant gift exchange for our youth group Christmas party, but the limit is $20. I just think $10 is a bit low esp since she only has a few teachers. Don't get me wrong, I definitely appreciate it, but with all the hell she has caused us this year, I didn't want anything from her. She is a sad excuse for a director.
