Question of the Week

What gifts are you giving your co-workers this season?

It’s that time of year. Holiday parties are filling up your calendars. And most of us have a lot of shopping to do—even though we may have no good gift ideas.

So this week, we’d like to ask you: What gifts are you giving your co-workers this season? Cash? Nothing? A thoughtful, personal gift? A standard gift card?

Answer in the comments. And see our gallery below for 12 quirky gift ideas for lawyers.

Read the answers to last week’s question: Which charities or institutions do you donate money to, and why?

Featured answer:
