The best holiday gift I ever got from an employer was when a prior manager at my Federal agency let every employee pick out what they wanted from Amazon, up to a certain dollar limit. We had a large staff, and there was nothing in the budget for this, so she was paying for everything out of her own pocket. It was fun shopping, everyone got what they wanted, and it was obvious that the manager was “putting her money where her mouth was” in terms of employee appreciation. That was before COVID, so no one was working remotely. We had an actual, in-office, party — it was, really, more like a staff meeting — at which we ate goodies and sang Christmas songs, led by a couple of very talented singers among our co-workers. Looking back on it, the “party” was kind of lame, but everyone was happy with their gifts.
