It's easy to see that first basket give more respect to employees. So what was a message from manager? “I admire your work very match, I wish you a very Christmas…” And what was undercover message from manager? “You guys did great job, I would like to give you and to your family that great basket. I think you really that it is cost about 100$. I would like you to wish very Christmas”. How do employees react to those gifts: “Wow”, “Thank you very match, I wish you a marry Christmas…”

Employees have a need to be respected, to self-respect and to respect others. People need to engage themselves in order to gain recognition and have an activity or activities that give the person a sense of contribution and self-value, be it in a profession or hobby. And gift baskets can easily answer to those needs. Gifts have become an integral part of our life. We get use to give gifts and also to receive them. Who does remember how it was started? During Christmas exchange of gifts or presents take place. The custom of giving gifts during Christmas was started by the three magi, who journeyed from the East to Jerusalem to shower gifts on Baby Jesus after he was born. They greeted him with gifts of gold frankincense and myrrh. So the three magi are an integral part of the Christmas gift giving history. We also remember feeling that picking out Christmas presents for employees is the season's most nerve-wracking ritual. The wrong choice can explode the closest of bonds. So what chooses do we have with gift baskets? If you are looking for some interesting Christmas food gift basket then simply go for nut gift basket. It will comprise of fresh fruits, candies, chocolates and nuts. If the recipient is a coffee lover then you may go for coffee Christmas food gift basket. Gift basket with wine is perfect chose for employees that work for long period. You also should take into consideration if your employee has a family. All family will estimate employer by it gift. If manager does not want to look “cheap”, he or she should give appropriate give for all family. There is interview with Mark B. manager of Lihno Corporation.
