$10 is the limit at my agency for supervisor gifts. I gave mine a $10 Starbucks gift card.

Trying to avoid that but maybe an option but may have to be a backup

Please reread the thread. No gifting up being asked.

We had an end of the year push so it’s mostly tied to that as oppose to the holidays. That might be a better idea to do a spread but also, I’m sure there has been plenty of eating and drinking by then!

OP here, sorry I should have been more clear.
I lead the team/group/dept, that is, everyone reports to me. Im aware that one cannot gift anything to someone above them.

I would like to gift the supervisors and team leads (supervising and leading other mini teams in my group) because they have done a great job.

I thought you never gift your superiors.

Absolutely none, it would be considered wildly inappropriate.

Assuming you lead a team at a federal agency and being mindful of ethical restrictions on amount spent, what have ppl given their supervisors or team leads as a holiday/thank you gift?

Thanks!
