Tips for choosing

Choosing gifts for employees, it should be remembered that they should be approximately in the same price category. All employees understand that small budget presents only symbolize attention, and do not indicate status, so you do not need to spend huge amounts of money to prove something to each other. Valuable expensive souvenirs are bought only together in order to present to the chief.

By choosing gifts for the New Year should be approached carefully. Be sure to use holiday packaging. Handmade, it will add sincerity and charm. In the absence of time, you can buy ready-made or order in advance from the craftsmen.

When creating New Year's gifts Be sure to consider the age of your colleagues. There are things that can not be given to older people, they can not understand and take offense. It is better when choosing to focus on universal things suitable for men and women, young people and people in age.

If you choose gifts with humor, remember, this is appropriate only in a very friendly team. There, where relations are especially business, it is more correct to select strict gifts in official style.

Unsuitable Gifts

There are things that should not be given at work. Usually they are intimate. These include underwear and perfume. To select them you need to know the person well enough to be close to him. Communication in the office is not enough for this.

Often, for the collective New Year's present, the heads choose a convenient option - a certificate. However, think about this choice, you may only complicate the lives of employees. A small amount is not enough to buy things worthwhile, so they will have to pay extra, which would entail additional costs. Otherwise, the card will simply lay dead weight on the table.

Gifts in the New Year should be low-cost, but not from the category of "cheap consumer goods", so as not to spoil the mood breakdown on the day of presentation.
