Any time there is a birthday, wedding, retirement or employment anniversary, I am the one everyone turns to figure out what to get. I thought I&#8217;d share our go-to birthday gifts that are ideal for coworkers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Go-To-Birthday-Gifts.jpg\" alt=\"Go To Birthday Gifts\" width=\"585\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Go-To-Birthday-Gifts.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Go-To-Birthday-Gifts-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Personally, I think gift cards are fabulous. You can get them in large or small amounts, and you can get them for almost any establishment. So, if you are getting a birthday gift for someone and it is just from you, you can get a $10 or $20 gift card to Dunkin&#8217; Donuts or Starbucks, Target or Amazon, or simply a Visa gift card.<\/p>\n<p>If it is a group gift, where you have collected money from a group of people, then a restaurant gift card in a larger dollar amount is usually well received. Another plus for gift cards is that they are so convenient to find. The local drug stores now carry an enormous amount of gift cards from many different stores. Gift cards are truly our go-to birthday gift. The only downside I sometimes hear is that they lack the &#8220;personal touch&#8221; but that is what makes them perfect gifts for co-workers. You can add a personal touch by writing a nice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/birthday-cards\/personal-birthday-cards.htm\"><strong>personalized birthday card<\/strong><\/a> to go along with it. Also, if you pick someone&#8217;s favorite restaurant, or store, the personal touch is that you knew enough about them to select one of their favorites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Somehow, long, long ago, I became the gift buyer for our office.
