Holiday<\/u><\/b> Gift
\nGiving Etiquette<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

By Nancy Muldoon<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

            <\/span>Finding
\nthe right gift to give someone around the holidays need not be difficult or
\nexpensive; but you do want to give a gift that is not only thoughtful but more
\nimportantly appropriate. <\/p>\n

            <\/span>While
\nit’s probably not a good idea to give someone in recovery a bottle of wine or
\nthe person who always seems to be rather tardy a watch; you can make a good
\nimpression by paying attention to what someone’s interests are without having
\nto  <\/span>pillage your checking account.<\/p>\n

            <\/span>For
\nthe coffee connoisseur, you have quite a few options, of which won’t break your
\nbank account. You can choose to buy a pound of coffee at your local coffee
\nhouse and simply put a bow or fancy ribbon around it and it will only cost
\nabout $10. Or you can choose to buy that same individual a fancy coffee mug
\nthat will run you anywhere from $5-$10. You can also buy a coffee bean grinder
\nfrom $10-$20.<\/p>\n

            <\/span>If
\nyou are unsure about what book to buy the avid reader in your life you can
\npurchase a gift card from almost any book store in the amount of $5-$25, so
\nthey can choose whatever they want.<\/p>\n

            <\/span>In
\nan office setting you can always bake cookies and cupcakes and display them on
\na fancy festive platter for everyone’s enjoyment. For a co-worker who enjoys a
\ncigar you don’t have to buy a whole box, cigars are sold individually and can
\nrun as little as $5 dollars a cigar, a cigar cutter is also a nice gift and can
\ncost as little as $5.<\/p>\n

            <\/span>If
\nyou are going to buy someone a bottle of wine it is important to find out if
\nthey prefer white or red, as most people do have a preference. There are many
\nquality wines out there both white and red that are less than $10, if you are
\nundecided, ask someone who works in the store as they are knowledgeable and
\nhappy to give you a list of their personal favorites.<\/p>\n

            <\/span>If
\nyou are still unsure as to what to give someone in the office you can always
\nbuy someone a thoughtful card and buy a few inexpensive lottery tickets to put
\ninside the card. There are many holiday themed cards to choose from and can
\ncost as little as $1.<\/p>\n
