Yes, it is that time of the year. You buy gifts and exchange them with your colleagues. Getting the right gifts is pretty difficult if you do not know your recipient well. Well, we have not gotten our allocated recipients so far but it is going to be an exciting moment. Do you do gift exchange at work , at home or even both ?

When I was a couple years younger we use to have this all the time. But as time goes by, I stopped making gifts as they grow up.

We used to do this back in college, it was fun. We had to give them to random people so I've gotten some of the most random gifts ever.

Yeah, that is what happens when we buy gifts and do not know our recipients like or dislikes.

@holdoors Well I was going to be out for surgery and then it got cancelled, that's why we had it early.

We usually do it during Christmas lunch. It does depend on the company. Some staff will do it among their own colleagues.

Sometimes the recipient is random so we have to get a neutral gift...

I'll likely be getting gifts for two young ladies at work. They happen to be twins and remind me so much of myself at their ages (and of my daughter). One of the twins said she'd be getting me a gift as well

Sounds great. The challenging part is to know what gift to purchase.
