Gift etiquette for a small mixed-religion office/company? |
I work in a small company and was thinking of giving some Christmas gifts (like mince pies or something else that could be bought in a nice package and shared with families) to co-workers who work close to me but are lower in rank. A couple of them celebrate Christmas too but the other two are Muslims. How (in)appropriate would it be to get them something? I guess maybe I will get muffins and chocolates for everyone, like a small gift and just go around to talk to everyone during break time to share the muffins and have a chat. If anyone asks, then just reply that it's for the holidays, not just christmas, but the new year as well and a show of goodwill. I think it would be perfectly acceptable to give a gift, especially if it's just food. You can explain to your non-Christian coworkers that Christmas is about giving, not receiving. So you are practicing your religious holiday by giving, and they don't have to be practicing to receive. If they refuse the gift, even politely, you should smile, tell them you understand, and take the gift home with you. You could give them a gift and say something to the effect of "it's just a little something for the holidays." Don't name any one holiday in particular, but leave it open to include everyone. Check out any proposed food gifts as far as dietary restrictions go, but other than that, it sounds fine. New in the office and not close to them.....don't do it. Just don't. Wait a year and see what the dynamics of that office is. It's fine with the pies idea and it's fine to give to the Muslims as long as there is no lard in them. |
