[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our office does a holiday party at an outside venue around lunchtime (11:30-2:30) with entertainment, raffles, etc. Food and bar.

I feel like that should be enough.

Some teams do an additional lunch or happy hour. I find that somewhat tricky since we have some remote team members, others who constantly mask and won’t eat/drink around others, etc.

I have a dozen direct reports, so I can only do a token sort of gift (noting a $30 gift quickly jumps to nearly $50 when you factor in tax and shipping). I tend to stick with food items (citrus from FL, cookies or chocolates from a small business, etc). Our office has a policy against using the corporate card to purchase anything remotely holiday related (meaning nothing Christmas related) and we can’t buy gift cards for staff. [/quote]

Excuses Excuses. I had a job with a similar rule. My Bosses wife would send Omaha Steaks, Harry and David Gift baskets etc. to my wife. There was no rule my bosses spouse could not buy my spouse a xmas gift.  She would make sure to do it on her personal credit card.
