He wouldn't know...they never work the same days/times. He's pretty good friends with the woman's sister, but he won't ask the sister what he should get her.

No. We made a pact this year.

Last year I bought cute coffee mugs with sayings on them that fit each person's personality. My boss' mug read "I Don't Do Perky", the AR person/fashion maven got a mug that said "Office Goddess" and the sales admin's read "What Deadline?". I even bought myself one that reads "I See Dumb People". People are still commenting on the mugs.

As for the new Mom- how about a pretty picture frame that would look nice on her desk and that way she can display pictures of her new baby?

I like the mug thing - that's cute. I'd love to do that for my office (especially since everyone around here uses styrofoam cups - wasteful), but I have a feeling my coworkers/bosses wouldn't have a sense of humor about it.

I love my mug, I get to tell people I think they are stupid in a total passive-agressive sort of way!

Oh and this year, no gifts. We are going out for a nice lunch instead.

We did get stuffed gorillas one year from our COO as "Holiday Gifts". Something about us being the 800lb gorilla in the room or something. Didn't quite get it, but I do have a stuffed gorilla on my desk for when the kids visit.
