Leaders managing a team of about 4-5 people, do you get any gifts for your team for Christmas? I am in a new company, been here for 9 months. I am debating whether I should give them presents or not. I am not sure what the culture is. In my previous company, we gave each other presents within the department. It was mostly driven by the managers, who got something for everyone. What should I do? Any suggestions?

Yes, but I make a comfortable salary. Gift giving during this time is very stressful.

I would get something small- like $20 worth for each. Mine were personalized to each individual and what they liked, ie got one person hot sauce and the other a cat bowl (she just got a cat). Doesn’t have to be expensive to be meaningful. And that way they don’t feel pressure to return the gesture because it wasn’t an expensive gift

Thank you! That’s really helpful.

I do get my team gifts that are around $50 each, but I also make a very comfortable salary. When I was making much less, I just got smaller things, like motivational gifts from Amazon.

I opened up my LinkedIn to recruiters but all the offers are 60-70k base and 120-140k OTE. I am shooting for MINIMUM 80k base but ideally 100k or more.

What would you do?
