Gifts for your boss

Barbara Corcoran, founder, Corcoran Group

Face it: If it's de rigueur at your company to gift your boss, you can't afford to miss the mark.

Holiday tips from Barbara Corcoran:
Never feel you must reciprocate if your boss gives you something. It implies you're on the same level, and you're not.
Nix Secret Santa exchanges. It's peer pressure at its worst.
Do go in on a gift for your boss as a team. Getting gifts from individuals can be awkward.
