GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST: FAUX PAS EDITION Or, what not to buy your clients or employees.
* Anything with a large company logo plastered on it. * Alcohol, unless you’re absolutely certain of their favorite kind and that they are not a recovering alcoholic. * Clothing—too many variables to screw up, including size, color choice, and fabric. * Self-help books. * Anything that could be construed as intimate, including lingerie, gift certificates to places like Victoria’s Secret, or perfume.
* Used items (don’t re-gift, either—too easy to get busted as a Scrooge). * Toiletries or beauty products (again, allergies, but also because it could be seen as a criticism on their current beauty and health). * Anything religious. * A 10% off coupon—perhaps the lamest gift on this list! * Gag gifts, unless your company insists everyone bring one for the holiday party.
