I run a small firm and would like to get the people that work for me a small gift for the holidays. Any suggestions? I'm also giving a cash bonus in their last paycheck of the year, so I'd like to avoid gift cards.

I am an associate in a pi firm with 15 staff. I always get everybody something for Xmas. No other lawyer does. They always appreciate it even if it's small. This year I got them from Amazon a Teabloom Original All-Purpose Beverage Tumbler - 16 oz -

It can make hot tea, cold tea, and cold brew coffee, then it keeps hot coffee hot and will make fruit infused water. I thought it was a nice all purpose thing.

Last year I got them all big yeti mugs and chocolate bombs or chocolate bomb making kits of they had lids.

Year before I did a gift set of Burt's bees hand, foot and face creams.

Good on you for taking care of the staff; more attorneys should be doing this.

If you’re also doing a nice bonus maybe some firm swag?

My boss bought us a solid $75-125 blanket this year, loving it

Shout out to pretty rugged. It's a great product re blanket. Just got picked up on shark tank. If you don't have many employees it's a good one. A little pricey
