At work, we hold ... Yes, we spend a lot of time there, and our co-workers become good friends, and sometimes it happens that they are close friends. But even if this did not happen, nobody canceled corporate ethics, which means that you will have to think about gifts to colleagues anyway.
A birthday present to a colleague
Great problems arise when choosing a gift to a colleague for a birthday. Well, if you know about his preferences. In this case, you can pick up a gift that will definitely suit your colleague. But what if this person is new and you have not yet learned anything about his interests? There are two ways.
- Before the birthday there is still a lot of time (a month, a week, a day, an hour), you can still get to know a colleague closely, ask about preferences and buy something related to them. Only if you decide to make your colleague happy with such a gift, try to learn more about his passion, not to make a mistake with the choice and not buy something that he does not need or do not like.
- Time to a birthday just a little bit, I do not want to find out anything, and it's simply inconvenient. In this case, buy any personal gift will not work, you will have to limit yourself to something from the standard set. It can be a gift certificate for the purchase of clothes, sports equipment, perfumes, cosmetics, to visit the massage parlor and so on. You can give a subscription to the fitness club, you can arrange a feast in honor of the birthday boy - go with the team in bowling, paintball, on shish kebabs. You can give a flash drive, just see that it was an original design, otherwise, where is the guarantee that your gift will be used by a colleague with love?
Gifts for colleagues on public holidays
In many firms, there is a tradition to present employees with small pleasant things on different holidays - New Year, Christmas, March 8, February 23, etc. Often the purchase of gifts is carried out centrally, that is, the same office buys the same gifts, and then in a solemn atmosphere they are awarded to the company's employees. But sometimes I want to highlight especially nice people for myself, and it's time to say once again how good it is that you had a chance to work together. In this case, without a gift, a small souvenir is indispensable. What to choose, decide for yourself, but when choosing gifts for such cases it is better to observe the following rules.
- You can not endow all colleagues, and therefore you need to choose those with whom you often communicate on the duty of duty or colleagues, the location to which you would like to emphasize.
- Even if you buy only 2-3 gifts, you should not choose expensive options. The time of more significant presents, and with them money spent, will come when it will be necessary to buy a present for a colleague for a birthday, and until then the high cost of a gift will be inappropriate. We often appreciate the gift and we think that the one who gave it, you need to present something from the same price category. Therefore, an unnecessarily expensive gift can put colleagues in an uncomfortable position.
- If colleagues have a good sense of humor, then you can order for them a cartoon. If you are unsure that they will appreciate it, you can cheer them up in more traditional ways: to present stickers in the form of smileys, funny stationery, t-shirts with funny inscriptions, table pears, basketball rings with a ball, medals and orders for excellent work, etc. .
- And of course, no one cancels standard office gifts - watches, mugs, disks with games (films), umbrellas, houseplants in a pot, cute figurines and other things.
