Keep it work-appropriate. Avoid overly personal gifts like romantic birthday gifts for her or cologne for colleagues. Choose items that celebrate their achievements or promote well-being at work. Consider their interests. A generic gift basket might seem safe. However, a personalized touch goes a long way. If your colleague enjoys coffee, get a gift certificate to their favorite coffee shop. This approach shows thoughtfulness and consideration. Respect the budget. Office gift exchanges often have a set budget. Stick to that limit to ensure fairness and avoid making anyone feel pressured to spend more.
