In response to "Work place gift giving protocol." by Dano

it's so relational. like, what would you give? I feel like you need to know the people to have it be meaningful.

like, if I wanted to gift charlie, I would give him red wine because I know he loves red wine. if you don't know people, gifting is... arbitrary and uncomf.

if you have a personal relationship with the giftee, it's ok. otherwise it might seem forced and politic. you know?

I agree. I gave my old office manager a little package of white powdered doughnuts as a token gift. - Pippy Mar 16, 19:52 2
