I don’t really do any gifts for the holidays for them but I know there are people that do. You could just do a gift card and say you hope they had a great holiday season or something like that so it’s not focused on one specific holiday.

I usually do one small gift card that encompasses all the holidays. I like doing something nice but I don’t wanna spend too much 🤣

There’s sometimes rules against “gifting up” or amount limits. I’ve never done any sort of gift except a team gift when my manager had a baby once.

I really don't. Sometimes I have to depending on my relationship with my boss.
