We all get nice bonuses at Christmas time. In turn, we all chip in usually $20 toward something for the boss. Sometimes it is gift cards, sometimes someone goes out and picks something up. But, we always do a little something each year.

Ive never gotten a gift for my boss before, even when I was a company man. But it's awkward when you get handed a check for 700 dollars and all you give them is a thank you. I think Xmas bonuses are a common expense for most companies and if the owner decides to be the kind that gives bonuses then he should have it figured in already. I really doubt any owners expect anything special from their guys but I'm not an owner.

Shake my hand and give me a sincere thanks, that is more than enough, I have had men say nothing and I mean nothing.
I had at least 5 blockbuster gift cards I threw out this year one from 1999.

Funny that you mention this. My boss and I were talking yesterday and he said that last year, a few of the guys didn't even as much as say thanks.
This was after getting a nice bonus and taking us all out to dinner.

Ive worked with guys that expect a bonus. Hell i used to be like that to but ive always appreciated it and said thanks and meant it. Now being an owner i know how much it always helped me out so i try to do the same. As long as the guys say thanks and its sincere i dont need anything else except for them to continue working, maybe cut down on the complaining though.
I'd fire any employee that gave me a gift.

Surely you jest.
As a boss, the best gift you could give me is to give the work your best and when you are off, give your family your best. A hardworking honest employee (year round) is a wonderful gift and if I share business profits with you in the form of a Christmas gift, I do not require a reciprocal gift, and like Brian said, I can buy whatever I want whenever I want so your gift is not necessary.
Enjoy your family and come back ready to roll.
