[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've found that people are really resistant to forgoing a gift altogether, for example to have a nice party instead. I agree that nobody knows what to do with plaques, but better gifts are significantly more expensive - e.g., a nice little clock is $200 while the plaque was $65 and since we are paying for it out of pocket ... [/quote] I don't think a clock is good either...it's not really something people need. I would do a card and then a gift card commensurate with your budget. $65 isn't really enough for a dinner out, but would be a nice amount for a bakery or bookstore. There are lots of places that represent "take some time for yourself". Or maybe after a long career someone in the office actually knows the person and what hobbies they have. At my old place of employment we got our boss a gift card to a golf/sporting goods store, and our secretary a gift card to a craft store.[/quote]
