Every office culture is different and hence there are a few things to keep in mind while picking gifts for office colleagues in India. There may be a guide in your office for gifting presents to your colleagues and you would not want to get in trouble even though your intentions are good. Here are a few things about gift giving in office.

You are not supposed to give over the top gifts to your coworkers and the budget should be limited so that all colleagues can feel inclusive while giving gifts to others. While other people are brining very casual gifts and you are giving something fancy, then you can make other people feel very uncomfortable with this move. So, set a price limit before you guys plan for gift-giving.

It is much wiser to check company’s policies regarding giving gifts to coworkers in the premise. There can be a policy regarding no such exchange in the office or it can be about who can receive gifts from whom to maintain a healthy work culture. Office may also have policy about what is allowed and prohibited in gifts and you should definitely check all of it before buying gifts for your colleagues.

While picking thank you gifts for colleagues, you should make sure that they are decent and thoughtful. If your gifts can convey mixed message to your coworker then you should totally avoid it. Your gift should be appropriate and should respect work-culture and company’s policies too. Your presents are supposed to show appreciated and respect, don’t use them for mockery.

You are not supposed to expect anything in return if you are giving gift to your colleagues whole-heartedly. Pressurizing someone into giving gifts to you just because you are giving one to them isn’t a nice thing. Sometimes words of appreciation and a warm hand-shake is enough to convey the feeling of respect and admiration and if someone is doing that for you then it is way priceless than a gift itself.
