Are you considering adding your boss to your gift-giving list this year?

　　"Tread carefully," warns Jo Bennett, partner in the New York City executive search firm Battalia Winston. "It's not all that common and I think if you want to give a gift to your boss, you need to think about what's in it for you."

　　Here are some simple do's and don'ts to keep your holiday giving happy.

　　今年，你考虑送老板礼物吗?

　　来自Battalia Winston高级人才搜寻公司合伙人Jo Bennett说：“给老板送礼要谨慎。送老板礼物并不是一个普遍的现象。如果你希望给老板送礼物的话，你需要考虑自己有什么好处。”

　　下面是一些简单的注意事项，它们让节日送礼成为一件愉快的事。

　　1、Do your homework. 准备

　　Buying your boss a gift is just like any other workplace project. So research the history of gift-giving in your office:

　　给老板买礼物就如同任何工作中的一个项目。所以，调查以往的送礼情况:

　　* Do people give gifts to the boss? 人们(在过节)给老板送礼物吗?

　　* If so, what kind? 如果送的话，是送哪类礼物?

　　* Has it ever backfired for any of your coworkers, and if so, how?

　　* 曾经出现过有同事送礼后适得其反的情况吗？有的话，是如何发生的?

　　2、Don't make your boss uncomfortable. 不要让老板感觉不自在

　　Now that you know the tradition, think about why you want to give your boss a gift in the first place.

　　"If the answer is because you want to curry favor, I wouldn't do it," said Bennett. "The risk is that your boss will see it as trying to twist the relationship and get an advantage. You don't want to make your boss uncomfortable."

　　既然你了解了过去送礼习惯，下面来考虑自己到底为什么要送老板礼物。

　　Bennett说：“如果回答是因为你想去讨好，要我可不会送。风险在于你的老板可能把礼物看作扭曲关系真相、占便宜的行为。你可不希望让对方感觉不自在。”

　　3、Do be sincere. 真诚

　　The best reason to give your boss a gift is to thank him or her for a specific act of kindness during the year that went "above and beyond the call of duty," Bennett said.

　　"Maybe your boss smoothed over a particular issue you had with a customer," she suggested. "Or maybe your boss gave you some great career advice. In that case, give something small with a nice card of genuine thanks."

　　Bennett说,给老板送礼物最好的理由是感谢他/她在过去一年里做出过的”超出工作范围之外“的某个具体善举。

　　她建议“也许你的老板为你解决了你与客户之间的特定问题。或者你的老板给了你某些很好的事业建议。这个情况下，送点东西并附上一张漂亮的真诚感谢的卡片”
