Is there any good way to give an anonymous gift which isn't creepy?
There are two women from another department at work who I occasionally sit with in the staff canteen. I know that one of them is really living from one pay cheque to the next, and the other has been talking a lot recently about how she can't afford Christmas presents. I have recently had a promotion and my financial situation is ok. (Not amazing, but I have some leeway.)
If I give either of them a gift outright then I am guessing they would feel they needed to give me something in return, and I don't want to put them in that position. Is there any possible way for me to give them something but make it look just like good luck for them? I was thinking, I suppose, of a Sainsburys or Tesco gift card.
Or is it just patronising and I should butt out?
