I work in an office with about 40 other frum women and there are constantly gifts for engagements, babies, bar mitzvas of children.
I join in almost every one but there are so many and it really adds up.

If I truly don't have any connection to that person, I give less or not at all.
When I worked in a therapy setting previously, the men would give towards gifts for men, and the women for the women. It's okay if you sometimes decline.

My office used to ask e/o to contribute for baby, engagement gift etc. Now we grew. The secretary would take care of ordering with office CC.
Still would give personally if we're close. $5 adds up

My office we each contribute 15 shekel a gift. It adds up I got a nice size gift card when I had a baby.
But I also only give to the coworkers that I work with. Anyone from a different department I just opt out of.
