I manage about 40 people at work. Gone up from about 13 last year. I like to always buy them something at Christmas but I need to be much smarter this year. Last year I didn't the 6 bottles of wine for 20 thing. Spent 40 and everyone got a prosecco. Anyone seen anything or got any good ideas where I won't have to put myself out too much. I have 2 kids and my own problems but I think this is always nice to do for people at Christmas. Figured the earlier the better.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51226036","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gollywood"},"datePublished":"2023-10-19T17:06:11.000Z","text":"No suggestions, but what a decent boss you are
With an increased team, there's a chance that some employees might not drink alcohol so that's worth bearing in mind"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51227090","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"NuffinisFree"},"datePublished":"2023-10-19T19:45:25.000Z","text":"Asda has a few chocolate boxes on offer with cashback via the rewards app.
As other people have mentioned Terry's orange but also Ferrero Rocher, Cadbury pouches etc are also on offer.
As the moment I would be setting my budget and finding out if anyone has diety restrictions, e.g. vegan, halal, kosher, diabetic etc in case you need to buy different items for them.
Hopefully, something posted on here will jump out to you, you still have 2 months to make a decision, maybe come black friday there will be offers.
The fancy M&S biscuit boxes always look nice"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51222464","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"TheUrbis"},"datePublished":"2023-10-19T08:54:04.000Z","text":"Top boss!

Not particularly prestigious though, especially as I did the same Prosecco thing as you the year before."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51224033","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"AMaky"},"datePublished":"2023-10-19T12:17:30.000Z","text":"75% will be how you present it, there are wine and other drinks offers on atm whether amazon or supermarkets.

Selection boxes usually go down to half price before Christmas for a few days in all the major supermarkets so you could do this for about £3 per person for the little bottle of wine and selection box.
As someone else said Terry's chocolate oranges are on at £1.50 in Asda with 75p back in your cash pot making them half price. Plus if you buy in batches of 4 totalling £6, you get a free spin in their Halloween wheel in the app and can win anything from 50p to £100. I've had a couple of £1 wins, so deduct this from the £6 & the cash back 4 chocolate oranges for as little as £2.50.
Ok you need the app to get the cash back, but it's no great hastle. I've bought 4, got the cash back, gone next day, generated a voucher from my app from cash back received on original purchase and used it to pay towards my next batch.
If you want something a bit bigger, toberlones are £4.50 with £1.50 cash back at Asda too via their app so work out at £3 each after the cash back are £1.50 a box with 50p back so there are options.
Pick up some little gift bags from Home Bargains (smallest ones used to be about 39p"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51225469","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mark_Hickman"},"datePublished":"2023-10-19T15:40:34.000Z","text":"We used to get a weeks wages as a Christmas bonus at my old work place, i didn't realise how great this was until i joined a multi billion company and got a £25 voucher, dont receive anything directly off our manager though so its really nice of you, maybe buy 40 tubs of chocolate, everyone loves chocolate"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51226499","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Turret-Buddy"},"datePublished":"2023-10-19T18:16:41.000Z","text":"get them all a rustler burger"}],"commentCount":21,"interactionStatistic":14,"articleSection":"Ask"}
