Emily Post has been the go-to source for etiquette for 100 years. Generations later, Emily Post’s great grandchildren are continuing her legacy by contextualizing etiquette around the principles of consideration, respect, and honesty. The Emily Post Institute has compiled a corporate holiday gift giving guide. With specific guidelines for giving to clients, colleagues, and more, they break down the essentials you should know. They note that employees should be careful about giving up to superiors. They write:
“Don’t give a gift to your supervisor that’s just from you. Other employees may resent what they see as an effort to curry favor with the boss. Get together with the others in your department and give a gift from the group.”
