I'm new to management. Company gives everyone the same generic (cheap) gift at Xmas. I'd like to get something a bit nicer for my 2x direct reports but struggling a bit with what....
I don't like buying booze as a gift unless I know the person will drink it/enjoy it.
Given the postage situation, needs to be something I can pick up in Next / Sainsbury/ M&S / Boots as I can't trust online so late.
Both women, 35-45. One is a mum of 3, well off husband but who's bad at gifting so doesn't often get spoiled. Always on a diet or trying to be good.
The other is very into hill walking and sports, from Poland originally and misses Polish traditions at Xmas. Isn't fussed on chocolate and is a very healthy eater.
Nice box of chocs is out, I'm not sure either would appreciate a candle that much.
Ideas? Am I overthinking it?
I was thinking about £25 spend on each.
