Cheap gift ideas for male coworkers?

Q. I work with about 5 guys and i have no idea what to get them for a holiday gift. We're all about 17 year old so, i don't want to get them something for an older person that they wouldn't use and I don't want to spend too much. For the girls I work with, I spent about 5-7 dollars each, so the same would be given to the guys. I know gift cards work but aren't they kind of tacky since people know how much you've spent? any gift ideas would be greatly appriciated!! Thanks in advance!

A. Cookies, if you are any good at cooking, anything edible will be a hit. These gifts aren't meant to be keepsakes, cherished forever. They say, thanks for being you. Any sort of tasty treat YOU make will be talked about next Christmas.


What should I get my coworkers when leave?
Q. I have been working at an assisted living home in New England for a year, and just gave my notice yesterday for a new job. I want to get the residents a really nice gift- any ideas?

A. A heartfelt thank you note would certainly be appreciated by all the residents. Candy, baked goods, etc. would be appropriate depending on varying dietary needs. A potted plant or something that the residents can continue to appreciate would also be lovely. Remember it is the thought that counts and whatever you give will be enjoyed.


Another question regarding baby showers; who is supposed to give a baby shower and who should be invited?
Q. Is there proper etiquette in regards to whom gives a baby shower? Who should be invited, not forgotten? I was thinking of perhaps thinking of the "new mom" as well in gift ideas, what do you think?

A. Friends or family give the baby shower. Doesn't matter where it's held (sometimes at the mom-to-be's house because she has the largest 'free' space). It also depends on if this is a co-worker shower (just coworkers) or friends/family. If a coworker shower, just invite coworkers, the mom and maybe a friend to help afterwards. If a family/friend or just a single shower, invite close coworkers, family members, friends and close neighbors (usually childhood home, not current).

Don't forget the stepmom, if there is one, although this is sometimes a challenge. Usually best not to seat them together.


What kind of gift should I give a coworker?
Q. I need some gift ideas for a female colleague is now leaving our work place after some years.

A. Nothing too personal. But something to remind her of where she worked and her colleagues.
I like plants because they last if taken care of just like friendships.
Perhaps better is a book of Wise Sayings or Workplace Jokes. A photo album of them and their colleagues at different events and parties or picnics. If it is from the group it can be signed by all and be a permanent remembrance.

I prefer a well thought gift rather than a gift card for amounts of $25.00 or less.

If it is a large gift from a group or department, consider a gift and a check or gift card.

Just a gift card (unless it is for a place you know they will love to shop) says I don't really know you and I want to give you something so here. Then there is no lasting memory of the giver If they have to purchase something for themselves.

God Bless You, ;-)
