Hi Guys, this is my first holiday season as a boss and I am trying to figure out how to handle it, hoping a quick poll might help. For the gift choices, assume they're all worth about the same amount (and none of them huge).

Thanks!

Food is nice if you're reasonably sure that the person likes it; one year at my last job, we wound up with extra chocolates because a well-meaning vendor had sent some to my boss, who couldn't have them for health reasons.

I checked "gift card," but that was on the theory that it's the closest to giving someone a cash bonus; a gift card for a specific store (such as Starbucks) is less flexible. (A friend of mine got a Starbucks card for something or other and wound up posting to offer it to anyone she knew who actually buys anything there, because she doesn't.)

Thanks, that makes sense.
