下面提供了一些工作场合适宜的送礼建议：

送上司：

Generally, it's not appropriate to give your boss a gift. It can come with mixed messages. People worry that it seems like you are trying to buy favoritism.

一般来讲，给上司送礼物是不合适的。这样做可能会传递一些复杂的信息。人们担心这看上去好像是你在讨好上司。

Instead, see if co-workers would like to contribute to a gift for the boss from the whole office. If you're charged with buying the gift, stick with office-related items or something that fits with the subject of your company's work. Or, if your boss has a hobby or interest,such as golf, consider a gift that plays to that.

相反，看看同事是否愿意凑钱、以整个办公室的名义给上司送个礼物。如果你负责买礼物，要买与办公有关的用品，或是符合公司工作内容的礼物。如果你的上司有什么兴趣或爱好的话，比如打高尔夫球，你还可以考虑买相应的物品作为礼物。

送同事：

You and co-workers also can chip in to get small gifts for people working under you, like the receptionist or mailroom staff.

你和同事还可以凑钱给级别比你们低的同事买点小礼物，比如前台或收发室的人。

If you're exchanging gifts with co-workers, it's best to buy something simple for everyone in your team or group. Keep individual gift giving outside the office.

如果你要和同事互换礼物，最好是买些对你们小组或团队中每个人都适用的简单礼物。不要在办公室里单独送礼物。

For the boss as well as co-workers, avoid items that are too personal--say, perfume, scented bath products, jewelry, lingerie or other clothing. Also steer away from alcohol and tobacco products.

无论是对上司还是同事，都要避免送过于私人性的礼物，比如香水、带香味的沐浴产品、珠宝、内衣或其他衣服。此外，还要避免送烟酒。

Gag gifts can cause problems as well. "Not everyone translates humor the way you might" and you risk off ending someone. Cash is a no-no as are gifts that are too expensive. You're going to look like you are just trying to win favor.

带有恶作剧性质的礼物也可能会带来问题。并非每个人都会以你那样的方式欣赏幽默，你可能会冒犯什么人。现金或是过于贵重的礼物都是禁忌。因为这些让你看起来好像是在努力赢得好感。

You don't have to reciprocate if a co-worker gives you a gift.

如果同事送礼物给你，你不一定要回赠。

送客户：

It's your call whether to buy gifts for clients, vendors or people you have a professional relationship with outside the office.

是否要给客户、供应商或办公室以外和你有业务关系的人买礼物，这就要你自己拿主意了。

If your office sends out gifts to clients and vendors, there's no need to do something on top of that. Write a nice card if you feel like that person really made your year.

如果你们办公室给客户或供应商送了礼物，你就没有必要再额外送了。如果你觉得对方在这一年里真是你的贵人，那么就送张精美的卡片。

If you decide to buy gifts for clients or vendors, make sure their company guidelines allow them to accept gifts. You also should check your company's gift-giving guidelines, especially if you plan to use company funds to purchase presents.

如果你决定给客户或供应商买礼物，要确保他们的公司行为守则允许他们接受礼物。你还应该查看自己公司的送礼规定，特别是如果你打算用公司的钱买礼物的话。

If you attend a holiday party with colleagues in someone's home, make sure you bring a hostess gift. While wine is usually a popular hostess gift, it may not always be appropriate if it's a work event. A nice box of chocolates or a poinsettia plant are good options.

如果你和同事到别人家里开节日派对，一定要给女主人带一份礼物。尽管葡萄酒通常是非常受欢迎的礼物，但如果是与工作相关的活动，就并不一定合适了。这时一盒上好的巧克力或者一株一品红都是不错的选择。
