The person I report to has gotten us personalized fun times (one year was fun holiday themed pajama onesies, this year was a Patagonia zip up - he gets our names embroidered) and one year was like a gift basket of things local to his home town, which was really nice.

He asks us our sizes. The pajamas were purposely oversized and we all got like a one-size XL. The local stuff was like honey, chocolate etc that was local to his area. All nice gifts!
Honestly, an Amazon gift card. Easy and everyone loves Amazon.
I gift donation dollars to my team that they can use to donate to the cause of their choice. We use BrightFunds at my company.
Love that. One year I donated in their name but they didn’t pick where. I don’t know how much they loved it. But I can do that !
Travel toiletry kit, charcuterie board - there’s some inexpensive nice ones on Amazon, Yeti mug and lid, travel cord organizer and backup charger, gift cards for food delivery like Uber Eats
Nice yeti bottles or straw cups- I get them for my team every year and they use the heck out of them, I see them on every call.
What about using a site like snack magic and setting your price limit and allowing them to create their own box? Theres snacks, small beauty and personal care items, and more
Do you gift up?
To my leadership? Sometimes I’ll donate to a cause in their name. But I’m not planning to this year. (Note I’m an svp, this fishbowl title is outdated)
I would personally go for something office (or home office?) related; nice stationary, customized pens, planners if you know what they like… company tees/polos and hoodies go over really well with my teams!
No that’s very true; it is implied that it’s the company… I had assumed this was a corporate gift! Actually your company may not appreciate their logo being used without their input, so proceed with caution.
My teams travel, so jackets and polos go over really well in a company-approved kind of context. Maybe it would be less appreciated as a personal gift?
Donation to the "human fund". If you get it, you get it! ;)
Seinfeld reference:)
Get everyone matching wool scarves?

I was going to say something basic like a gift card but one year I was gifted a blend jet and it was the best small gift that I felt made an impact. I’m big into health/wellness but good gift for anyone really.
