In a formal office environment, one must exhibit a professional approach towards work and other situations. Even if it is a special occasion / holidays, where you need to buy holiday gifts for coworkers, you need to mange the show professionally and appropriately.
Here, I present some tips, which can help you while buying holiday gifts for coworkers.
1)
Do be Financially Conservative with your gifts budget, whenever you are buying holiday gifts for coworkers. It is not necessary to go overboard and buy expensive gifts for everyone. (Keep in mind that the gifts should not be too cheap either, they should be reasonably priced).
Moreover, in case you buy too expensive gifts for coworkers, then it might send out a signal that you also expect some expensive gifts in return, (which is not at all our purpose of giving gifts. Gifts should be given to express your affection and friendship towards your coworkers, it should not be like any business dealing).
Also, it is pertinent to remember that everybody’s salary is not the same. Those having a lesser salary than yours, might feel a little bit dejected when they come to know that a certain colleague of theirs is handing out expensive gifts for his friends whereas they are not in a position to do so. So, better not to buy too expensive holiday gifts for coworkers. Keep your budget small and intact. This will help to establish your professional image in office.
2)
For the majority of coworkers on your list, try to buy generic gifts such a fashionable decorative gift item, food baskets, chocolate gift baskets, flowers etc.
For those coworkers with whom you are quite close and have a more stronger friendship, you can present to them more personal gifts like the Music Cd’s / apparel of their liking.
3)
Before buying holiday gifts for coworkers in your office, is that you should always ask yourself the question first of all – “Would that person like such a gift if I presented it to him in front of the entire office”.
Conversely, before buying the gift, you should also ask yourself—“If I were to receive such a gift in front of the entire office, then would I like it ?.”
The above 2 questions would help you decide to buy the most appropriate holiday gifts for coworkers, and when you do present the gifts on the actual occasion, then such sort of self questioning will eventually help to establish your reputation as a professional, thoughtful and considerate person, and you would be liked by all of your coworkers.
4)
As a general rule, buy holiday gifts for coworkers, only when there is a special occasion / holiday season. To explain with the help of an example, If someone was earlier coming late to the office regularly and now has started coming on time, then it simply makes no reason to give him a gift. Try to restrict your gift presentation activities for special moments / occasions. This would further help you boost your image in front of your coworkers as a professional executive.
