I use Costco (I think the best place for gift towers), Harry &amp; David, and 1800baskets.com. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-that-time-of-year-co-worker-holiday-gifts#post-1920204 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 20:58:43 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1920204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone from my office has given out the cookies from Double Tree! They are good. Packaged in a nice little tin and with a cute little gift bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-that-time-of-year-co-worker-holiday-gifts#post-1917688 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:53:50 +0000 babycanuck 1917688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I've never heard of this and I like their stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-that-time-of-year-co-worker-holiday-gifts#post-1917678 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:47:35 +0000 looch 1917678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about sending a gift basket for the whole team, like a Harry and David tower...assuming they're all in the same location. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-that-time-of-year-co-worker-holiday-gifts#post-1916433 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 15:17:48 +0000 gingerbebe 1916433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Costco sells two-pack tins of cookies and I mail them en masse to my boss and ask her to distribute them (I'm usually out of the office). They are like $20-25 a two-pack so not awful. I also stock up on BBW seasonal hand soaps during their sales and can whip up a cheap fast gift with a hand soap, a lip balm, and a hand cream for a colleague or admin staffer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-that-time-of-year-co-worker-holiday-gifts#post-1916325 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 13:02:12 +0000 Mrs. D 1916325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boxes of chocolates? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-that-time-of-year-co-worker-holiday-gifts#post-1916324 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 13:01:59 +0000 Applesandbananas 1916324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: true! In my case, since my team is so small, I know that everyone does celebrate! F someone didn't, I'd probably opt for more of a seasonal decor item or something really generic, like a picture frame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-that-time-of-year-co-worker-holiday-gifts#post-1916289 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 12:30:37 +0000 Chuckles 1916289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@applesandbananas: and mrs. Sunshine: I would just be careful with ornaments because not everyone celebrates Christmas. I've gotten ornaments before, and I'm not offended or anything, but I just have no use for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-that-time-of-year-co-worker-holiday-gifts#post-1916230 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 10:50:49 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1916230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always do giftcards or scratch tickets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-that-time-of-year-co-worker-holiday-gifts#post-1916227 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 10:24:35 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1916227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: that's a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-that-time-of-year-co-worker-holiday-gifts#post-1916204 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 09:15:41 +0000 Applesandbananas 1916204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did ornaments one year, nothing really fancy. I just picked stuff that reminded me of them. I had a coworker who was a big football fan, so I got him one of his fave team, I had a coworker who loved shoes, so I got her a cute shoe ornament, etc. </p> <p>For people that I couldn't really come up with anything, I just picked something generic, like a pretty snowflake or icicle set. </p> <p>I spent $3-5 each for my team of 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-that-time-of-year-co-worker-holiday-gifts#post-1916199 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 09:04:24 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1916199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about making peppermint bark or something? That way you don't have to worry about how it will travel. Or little mixes of hot chocolate with marshmallows &amp; a peppermint stick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-that-time-of-year-co-worker-holiday-gifts#post-1916196 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 08:59:32 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1916196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gift cards for coffee or food? Some sort of local delicacy-- nuts, candy, or similar? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-that-time-of-year-co-worker-holiday-gifts#post-1916193 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 08:54:39 +0000 babycanuck 1916193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm stumped. My entire team this year works on the other side of the country.</p> <p>I don't want to give:<br /> - mugs<br /> - calendars<br /> - gift cards</p> <p>I'm concerned that anything I bake will not travel well.</p> <p>Ideas? Mostly men, a couple of women </p>
