Office gift ideas

[nycdisneygal]

I have always received great suggestions on this board. So I work with multiple different offices in different locations at my job (some of them I never go to -only remote). For christmas we each contribute money for gift cards for each staff member. I always also get something for each office from me - chocolates or lately a harry and david or cheryls gift box/tower. I'm the only one who does this. It gets to be a lot of work as I have to find a way to get it to each office. Looking for ideas for something different this year. Or do you think Cheryls/harry and david is good.

Maybe a little more info…how many people in each office, about how much are you looking to spend per office, are these offices local to you or out of town?

H&D & Cheryl's have shipping - utilize it! Wine Country has some items that are free shipping if that helps. I often send Juniors cheesecakes if the offices have breakrooms &/or kitchens. But I think the food towers/baskets are a good choice, just don't sweat over trying to hand deliver them if it's a real pain in your schedule. If it's integral to keeping your face-to-face relationship then I guess build it into your schedule earlier in the month of December if possible.

If you are looking for other food based delivery options, I’ve used both of these with great results:

Our office has received a gift box of Funky Chunky Popcorn. It was delicous! Its become my go-to when flowers won't do. They offer shipping too!

I love harry and david's (I SO miss living near one of their outlet stores). that said-i'm not much into the tower or basket type gifts b/c you get some items with only a few pieces so it can get awkward on who eats what. I DO love their pears (best ever). no matter what you get with them-towers, baskets, moose munch...) you can make one SINGLE order and then enter the individual shipping addresses for each office. the added advantage with this is if they've got one of their sales going (like they do right now) you get a larger discount with the greater number of individual qualifying items you order (right now it's 25% off for 4 or more). you can also opt to do a specific delivery date (so order when a sale is on but have it delivered in December).

I was going to suggest My Grandma's coffee cakes--so good. I think my ex-husband sent them to clients as Christmas gifts years ago.

If you are a Costco member, they have an amazing selection of online gift baskets and a variety food goodies you could send.

I have an entirely different suggestion: Don't do it. It's completely unnecessary. If holding on to your job is dependent on this--something you say no one else does--then I take it back, since you probably need your job. But if that's not the case, stop now. It's a lot of work that you don't need to do.

That was my first thought as well.

If you feel like you'd like to do something, you could make a batch of caramel corn for each office if you want to. This is really easy and goes over well (I've made holiday bags for my office in the past without peanuts, and they were well-received).
