Christmas present from your boss. Would you prefer...

[snowgirl1]

I've got a team of 8 to buy for. Budget is about £20 per person. Would you prefer a bottle of Moet (which is normally £35, but has £10 off in Sainsburys and they're currently doing of 25% off if you buy six or more, so could get for within budget); or a gift card (is there anywhere doing good deals on gift vouchers?!); or something else??

Any suggestions gratefully received!

GinAndTea surely gin is the answer?!
I'd choose the Moët too, OP.

I'd give the Moët to someone else for Christmas. And be sad that it was wasted on me. Could you let people choose?

I can't stand fizzy booze. Even Bucks Fizz - terrible band.

We get a £40 M&S voucher each year. Honestly, I would prefer something different. I don't shop at M&S a lot and find it a waste to spend it on food. Unfortunately they don't want to change to John Lewis...

I don't mind booze, I like it and if necessary I can gift it on. If you know your team well enough you know if there is anybody not drinking. We have on in my immediate group and it would be a bit awkward.

Hotel Chocolate chocolates are also a good alternative.

I would love a 10 quid Starbucks card and a bottle of prosecco

How about a hamper from somewhere like here - Hamper Gifts

They do corporate/bulk discounts but not sure if 8 would be enough to count as bulk

With only 8 people getting everyone the same thing is a bit impersonal so I'd get a range of things tailored to the individual

Not keen on Moet either, I'd like Proessco and posh chocs.

Moët - even if they don't drink it, it is a classy present to take to someone's house over Christmas or New Year.

Moet for sure.

Moet - I'd never buy it for myself but would like to try it!

Moët :)

I wouldn't agree that even if they don't drink it's a classy present. . It wouldn't be a waste of money.

Gift card. I don't drink and if i gave it away then its not a present for me is it.

Maybe a gift card for costa / amazon

gift card, i dont like champagne

Coffee shop card for sure.

Gift card for me. Don't like champagne so other people would get the benefit of my Christmas present which isn't really the idea of giving me a treat.

Gift card definitely! Never got the appeal of Moet.

Moët used to be £25 a bottle as standard! But yes, champagne over a gift card.

I just did some management training last week, sorry to make a dull comment but in the uk it is discriminaty to give alcohol as a gift / bonus, by your employers. There is case law to back it up.

So gift card, personally I would go John Lewis over amazon.

Gift card, preferably Amazon. I don't like champagne so anything expensive would be wasted on me plus I'm pregnant so wouldn't be able to drink it for months even if I did like it!

I love champagne but I'd rather be given the gift card I think. More useful and I like practicality. I cannot believe the PP who said she immediately regifts gift cards!

Gift card

I'd never drink the Moët, and DH barely drinks.

Moaning about regifting is missing the point. You save that person the cost of what they would have bought.

I don't drink wine but we always have a couple of bottles kicking about, that we've been given or won. Then when I'm visiting - instant gift!

It's always got value whether you drink it or not.

As a non-drinker I would be a little upset if I got Moët and the Muslim chap was given a voucher.

It has happened to me and at the time I was pissed off enough to put it back on the boss's desk and say "No thanks. I don't drink." Yes it was childish, but the fact that the lady I worked with who was a Muslim was given a voucher made it worse.

Voucher!
