My VP gets a gift, employees get cards with $150.00 gift cards...customers get corporate cards.

I've been buying my direct reports "token" gifts for years - about $250 - $300 total out of my pocket (about $20 each). I've also been giving my admin and my boss gifts at about $50 - $60 each. This year everyone's getting a card - about $15 total, including stamps. I'm broke this year and need to be in saving mode...

Does your company give you a budget for this? Mine doesn't... If they did, I'd be much less of a scrooge - my guys are great...
