4、Don't get personal. 不要送个人化的礼物

　　The worst gifts for bosses are expensive or personal, said Dallas-based business etiquette expert Colleen Rickenbacher, author of "Be on Your Best Business Behavior."

　　"The bottom line is always, 'Don't give something that touches the body,'" she said. Avoid clothes or perfume. Even flowers could be perceived as overly personal and start coworkers gossiping.

　　《展现你最佳职业行为》一书作者、来自达拉斯市的商务礼仪专家Colleen Rickenbacher说,给老板最糟糕的礼物是那些昂贵的或者个人化的礼物。

　　她说：“最重要的一点‘不要送和身体有接触的’”。 回避送衣服、香水。即便是花也可能被当成过于个人化、惹来同事闲谈的礼物。

　　5、Do cut costs. 减少成本

　　One of the best ways to give your boss a gift, say both Rickenbacher and Bennett, is to buy her something as a team. If each person gives $10, you can give your boss a gift certificate to her favorite restaurant or buy him a pricier gift that his assistant recommends.

　　That way, no one gets singled out as a brown-noser, and everyone shares the holiday spirit.

　　Or consider something inexpensive and consumable: jam you make at home, wine made in your garage, or cookies are all simple and genuine ways to share the holiday spirit without crossing any lines.

　　Rickenbacher与Bennett都认为给老板送礼的最好方法就是合伙买礼物。如果每人出10美元，你就能给老板一张最喜爱餐馆的用餐礼卡或购买某个来自老板助手推荐的价格较昂贵的礼物。

　　这样不会有个别人被认为是马屁精，而且人人都分享到了节日气氛。

　　或者，考虑不贵、可消费的东西--家中自制的果酱；自家车库中酿的红酒、或甜饼，这些都是简简单单而地道的分享节日气氛而不会越界的方法。

　　6、Don't treat your boss like family. 不要像家人一样对待老板

　　"If someone in your family gives you a gift, you better give one back," said Bennett. "But it's different in an office."

　　Don't feel the need to reciprocate if your boss gives you something. At worst, Rickenbacher said rushing to respond with a gift could end up looking like an afterthought.

　　"All you have to do when you receive a gift is show appreciation," she said, "and follow up with a thank-you note."

　　“如果有家人给你一份礼物，你最好回送一份礼物，但是在办公室里却不同。”

　　如果老板给你某样东西，不要感到有必要回送礼物。Rickenbacher说，一个最糟糕的情况是，匆忙还礼会看起来就像你是后来才想到的。

　　她说：“当收到老板的一份礼物后，要做的一切只是表达感激，然后送一张感谢卡片。”
