It's a special occasion and you have a giving heart. But how do you gift the boss or a special coworker without it seeming inappropriate? Here are a few suggestions for gift-giving at work.

STEP 1:

Play it safe with a gift card. Another great way to give a present to someone you work with is to give a gift card. These gifts are usually most appreciated by those people whom you don't know personally. They give the recipient the option of choosing how they'd like to spend the money and it doesn't leave anyone with the burden of returning or exchanging a gift. As with all gift cards, send along the proof of purchase receipt as well so that your boss or special coworker will have no trouble using the card.

STEP 2:

Smaller is often better. How weird would you look walking into the office with a giant wrapped present? First of all, you will look like a suck-up and your coworkers will frown upon your efforts to give such a monstrous gift. But also, it will be incredibly awkward and embarrassing for the recipient of the gift to accept it. A better choice is to find a small, concealable gift that won't draw any attention.

STEP 3:

Treat him to lunch. Another option to gifting your boss or coworker is to treat him to lunch on you. It's a much less informal gift than anything that needs to be unwrapped. If you're both comfortable with each other, it may be the preferred approach for the occasion. Let your boss or special coworker decide on the restaurant and snag up the bill at the end of the meal. You'll receive a gracious thank-you for your actions and it will put you in the good books.

STEP 4:

Give a group gift. As mentioned, it's best not to draw attention to yourself when gifting the boss or a special coworker. Consider chipping in on a group gift. It will likely be a much more useful gift for your boss or coworker than a bunch of small ones. And it will save you the hassle of shopping and wrapping. Just pay the person arranging the gift, sign your name to the card and accept gratitude afterwards. It's a win-win approach to gifting your boss and coworkers.
