Your Two Cents: Are You Giving Your Boss a Holiday Gift?
Wouldn't it be great if everything holiday-related was as straightforward as sprinkled sugar cookies? Office gift giving is a gray area for many employees, especially if you're new to the company and aren't sure of holiday protocol. The presence of multiple supervisors and several colleagues make it difficult to separate those who should receive a gift (if any) from those who don't need to be included.

DEARSUGAR and Junior Level Jemma need your help. She is looking for a great gift for her boss who is very senior to her.

Fab Gift Guide: Big Boss
When gifting the Big Boss — you know, the one you only get to talk to when something very good or very bad happens — tread lightly. Of course, you're going to earn brownie points by thinking of them during the holidays, but those can be lost just as easily if you pick the wrong thing. Sticking to a gift that is consummately professional is definitely the way to go.

Mommy Dearest: Taking Children on Business Trip
Mommy Dearest,
I have an overseas business trip coming up to a beautiful European city. While I will be working during the day, my evenings and weekends will be free. In the past, I have used this time to sightsee and shop for gifts for my family back home.

The best part is that the majority of stock is available at a discounted, duty-free price.
Ask Savvy: Is There a Polite Way to Say "No Gifts"?
Dear Savvy,
I am in a management position at my company but not top management. So I was somewhat surprised last year during the holidays, when several of my employees bought me Christmas presents. It was a really lovely gesture and I got some great gifts, but in general, I’m more of a “no gifts please” type of person (I have in the past made that rule about birthday parties.)
With the economic downturn this year, I’d just rather they not stress about it and not get me anything.
What to Do If You Receive an Unexpected Gift
Some holiday situations are as sticky as peppermint candy canes, including the uncomfortable instance of receiving an unexpected gift. Usually it's easy to assume who will take part in a gift exchange, but we all know that assumptions don't always pan out the way you predicted.
That friend you haven't heard from in a month, but gave you a gift last year, might come bearing a present around the holidays.
