Your coworkers and staff are your company’s greatest assets, so it is imperative to gift accordingly. Giving gifts to your coworkers can build relationships, or can cause unanticipated problems. We all have seen inappropriate gifting from the most embarrassing to the most exaggerated ones like a ‘weekend at a golf club resort’ costing thousands of dollars. Bad examples are probably countless. That’s why it is always good to remember that you are not buying gifts to your coworkers to impress them, but simply to recognize their accomplishments, to build stronger relationships or even friendships, to create a friendly atmosphere and to motivate them for future projects.
Follow these tips when buying gifts for coworkers:
- DON’T discriminate:
It may be considered inappropriate if the gifts for men and women are different types. Accordingly, some gifts may be offensive depending on their background, race or religion.
- DON’T play favorites:
There should be no distinction. Consider your coworkers all equals. Make sure to keep the price difference between the gifts within a few dollars.
- Be careful about gifts for people of opposite sex:
‘Intimate? Oh no…. I didn’t mean it that way!’ If you don’t want to repeat that line, then make sure you pay extra attention when buying gifts for the people of opposite sex. Some gifts might be misinterpreted as being intimate.
- Include everyone:
If you are buying gifts for all your employees, then make sure to remember contractors, part-timers and cleaning staff.
- Double-check for personalization mistakes:
‘That’s not your name??’ It is really embarrassing, isn’t it? You are recognizing an employee or your colleague but you got the name wrong, or it wasn’t personalized correctly. If you are buying a personalized gift, then make sure the spellings of the names are correct.
- Buy gifts not work-related:
Who says we need to buy gifts that has to be used at work only? Giving gifts that can be used at home can be plus. A business gift does not necessarily need to be something sitting on the desk at the office.
- Be careful when giving food gifts:
‘It’s very sweet but I can’t eat it. I have diabetes.’ Some of us follow a strict diet not only restricted by health but also religion and personal ethics.
A simple guide to giving gifts for a group of coworkers:
If you are planning to give each individual a different gift, then you need to learn about their interests, hobbies or likes/dislikes. Talk to them about what they like to do most. Then make a list for each one of them. This shows that you took the time to consider who they are and what they like.
A more convenient and easier way would be Choosing a Theme. Some of the themes would be office accessories, gift cards, picture frames, cookbooks, games, personalized gifts, calendars, hats, organizers, bookends, calculators and so on. This approach will make sure that you follow our tips above and complete the ‘gift project’ within time and budget.

It is always good to plan your Christmas shopping in advance to guarantee a holiday ease. If you can’t stand holiday shopping at crowded parking lots and long lines of checkout process, skip the idea of shopping at the mall or other stores and follow our guide to Christmas Shopping online. We have some great Christmas shopping tips to share with you. Try following this short guide to go through this holiday season easily within your budget.
Budget
This holiday season will be very difficult for most of us. As we face the most difficult economic crisis for decades, while most of us are having difficulty to meet our basic living expenses, this holiday season would be adding more weight on our shoulders if we are not careful setting our budget.
If you are short in cash and don’t want to use your credit cards, then you can consider the following quick tips to raise some cash for your holiday shopping:
Garage Sale: A good idea to generate some cash quickly. Contact your friends and family members. See if they also have some stuff they want to get rid of.
E-bay: Don’t underestimate the giant web presence of e-bay. Millions of people visit e-bay every day for all kinds of merchandise. You never know. Some of the things sit in your garage would be worth much more than you can imagine.
Make A List
After setting your budget, the first thing to do is to make a list of all the gift recipients including friends, colleagues and family members. Make sure to check your list twice to avoid forgetting anybody for the Christmas season. While you are making the list, also try to add their interests so you will be able to spot the perfect gift when it comes through your way.
We offer free Wish List service when you sign up with a free account with us. You can browse our store for unique gift ideas while logged in, then just add the gifts you like to your wish list. You also add their shipping address at your address book in your account and make the final decision later.
Shipping Deadlines
It can be very frustrating to miss a deadline for Christmas Gifts. Make sure to remember the last minute shipping deadlines for Christmas. Our shipping guidelines are simple. Generally, it is a good idea to place your order with us by December 15th for Christmas, so it is guaranteed that you receive it by Christmas.
Secure Shopping
According to numerous surveys conducted by consumer services, security of personal and credit card information is ranked within top 3 when shopping online. Make sure that you are shopping at a secure site transmitting your information encrypted.
How do you understand if you are on a secure network?
When you are entering your credit card information, make sure to check out the website URL. It needs to start with “https://” instead of “http://”. The “s” in the first one stands for ’secure’ so this means that your information will be encrypted once submitted. Widely used browsers like Internet Explorer have a “lock” icon indicating you are on a secure web page.
Please note that nicegesture.com utilizes secure servers with the highest level of encryption. Your information is kept secure and will not be shared with any third party.
If you receive an e-mail asking for your personal information including your credit card, please be careful. Reliable online merchants do not ask for personal or credit card information in an email. This is actually a common method of fraud. The e-mail might look like it is coming from a well-known merchant while in fact is a fake e-mail attempting to obtain your personal information. So if you receive such an email, just go to the merchant’s website to fill out the information.
