appropriate gifts

[Valerie1979]

we have a good working team and they are well respected as employees and they get rewarded throughout the year for their accomplishments, both individually and has a group --- it's a nice place.

You should have known better than to give a man lotion of all things as a gift.  Give him a gift card and he can use it as he wish.

in my defense, there was more to the gift than just hand lotion.
 we also work in an environment where he is washing his hands multiple times a day so the lotion is really not necessarily a "BAD" idea!

I don't think the lotion was a bad idea either.  My husband is in management and every year we give the same things...lotion, facial cleanser, gum, toothpaste, etc.  Things important to hygiene as they're all interacting with people all day.

If you go w/ a gift card for only the male worker, the female will be upset then.  Best to find something to fit all.
