Office Gift Xchange

So, there are only three employee s in my office counting myself and my boss. Despite the fact that my boss is usually very cold and demeaning she did give me and my coworker gift cards to get out nails done. My coworker gave us both a small gift bag and me...well I didn't give anything. I had no plans to do so. Should I feel bad? Should I feel obligated? I'm debating bringing in see home made goodies after the holiday but gift giving has just left me feeling awkward. What about your office this year?

Agreed! Maybe you can bring in some kind of treat (cookies or something) in the new year.

I wouldn't feel obligated! While that's a nice gesture, it's not necessary.

I wouldn't feel bad but I think I'd be more inclined to want to gift them back. You could always angle your gift as a new year gift... Like a business book to start off the new year or a fun desk calendar.
