Out of curiosity.. is this gift giving really necessary?

likefunny

As someone who bakes, I prefer to leave treats in the break room rather than give them to people since some people don’t like gifts of food.

To my close work friends I used to give a nip and a scratch ticket in a mini stocking (but know your coworkers, since not everyone drinks!).

Also a small gift card to a local coffee shop is always a nice gesture.

Ooh I like the scratch ticket idea!
