since I'm boss-less this year I didn't give any gifts; I did celebrate with coworkers with drinks and good food on company dime
if I'm on friendly terms with boss, I'll give gift. the reason being is cos I always remember the little things, and when I see something I think someone I'm on friendly terms with eg friends/family I'd get them it..with no occasion at all..if its pricey then I do save it for birthday, xmas etc..so for boss it's inappropriate to give the small gifts I find that I know they'd love
except on Christmas/holiday season and their birthday...I'm talking small token, thought more then $$$ gifts
if I'm not on friendly terms I'd probably not know what to get and altogether skip, just bring food goodies to work for everyone to share
