There's only three of us in the department and I like her personally; we're all exchanging gifts. I'm getting her a mug that says 'World's Okayest Boss' and a nice bag of homemade cocoa ;) </p> <p>So, like 15$ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265251 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:21:33 +0000 LindsayInNY 1265251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Making sugar scrubs?! Do tell/share!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265249 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:21:16 +0000 LindsayInNY 1265249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No.</p> <p>FWIW, I was always told that you gift "down" and not "up." So I gift to those "under" me (for lack of a better word) - my paralegal, secretary, etc. I did not get a personal gift from my boss last year. I don't know if I ever have at any job? Like others have said, I think homemade treats or something are a good idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265240 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:18:12 +0000 mrsjyw 1265240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep-- she's a coffee addict so I'll probably make her a mini gift basket wtih different keurig boxes and such </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265234 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:15:46 +0000 Boheme 1265234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just bringing some treats in for everyone. I'm making some sugar scrubs for friends, so maybe I'll bring her a jar </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265232 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:15:02 +0000 MamaMoose 1265232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! They are a married couple and I got them a $100 Keurig </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265231 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:14:29 +0000 mrskc 1265231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get my boss anything. But what about some nice tea or coffee? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265226 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:11:36 +0000 cmomma17 1265226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: in that case I'd do something like flowers or a plant for her office (female?). With a note of appreciation in a holiday card. </p> <p>My boss is also new, I only met her at the very end of August! And then I feel like if I get her something, I have to get my co-worker (a guy) something too! Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265225 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:11:34 +0000 LuLu Mom 1265225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I've been here 7 Christmases and never gotten a gift (or received) from my immediate boss. We get bonuses every year from the owners &amp; steaks. I've never gotten them anything...it would be weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265222 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:10:51 +0000 dolphin 1265222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I first worked here I did but now I don't anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265219 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:10:07 +0000 blackbird 1265219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No...I feel kind of weird doing that. Like a bit of a suck up? </p> <p>Maybe just a nice card? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265216 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:09:17 +0000 Mae 1265216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I usually take him some cookies though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265213 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:07:04 +0000 Smurfette 1265213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: DH thinks we should get her something this year, cause she has been great about me missing work to take R to the doctor, sick, me sick, giving me days at Christmas when maternity leave took all my sick and vacation time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265205 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:03:14 +0000 Vegmama 1265205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm my own boss ... so no! :) </p> <p>I used to make handmade or homemade gifts for co-workers ... Puppy chow, etc., just to spread some holiday cheer around my previous office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265203 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:02:05 +0000 cmomma17 1265203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I didn't want to, but I know she got ME something so now I feel pressured to! :(</p> <p>ETA: and there's NO WAY we have an extra $50 for bosses! We're having trouble buying gifts for immediate family!!! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265198 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 11:59:34 +0000 chopsuey 1265198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I've ever gotten my boss a gift, but I would probably spend $50ish? Wine or gift basket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-getting-your-boss-a-christmas-gift#post-1265147 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 11:40:13 +0000 Smurfette 1265147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If so what? And how much are you spending? </p>
