Suggestion to OP - if you want yes or no but want no discussion, why don’t you do a poll versus open ended post ?

I'd rather get a $2 scratch off lottery ticket than a $2 gift card, which just comes across as cheap, from an employer.

I don't think she wants anything from this thread other than to give us a place to comment that's not on the other thread she started.

Haha, nope. But it would be weird to give me a 5 dollar gift cerificate. Weird to get that for an adult.
If someone gave me one, id use it. But nobody would.

I know a company that includes a scratch off lottery ticket in the mishloach manos they give their employees every Purim. I think it's a great idea.
I can't think of anything else I would appreciate that costs $2, besides for a pastry or chocolate.

I used to appreciate a pastry or chocolate but lately I’m trying to watch my sugar so I know there are people who may have a hard time with a food gift.

One never can win on this site.
Tzchake type stuff? No. I am decluttering.
Food- yes, except for those that have to watch their weight, have allergies, or blood sugar issues.
Gift cards? While I can pick out my own gift, I don't go to that store. And it better be significant so I don't have to add any of my own money to it.
Alcohol? We don't drink. Bad messages to families and bad chinuch to the kids that alcohol has to always be there.
Cookbooks? So trite. Not all women cook or like to cook. And if they are into cooking? I own it already.
Expensive items? Just give me the value in cash. I don't care it is real crystal. I don't want another bowl.
There is no way to win except cash. Unless of course the amount is "pathetic" and "insulting".
Everyone should just look at the message: thank you. I am thinking of you.
And ignore that it wasn't right for you and give it away.

I give food gifts or lottery tickets or cash. All I hope are used or passed on.

I hear your sentiment, but this thread is indeed asking for opinions

The fact that my boss, who is raking in $$$$ off of my labor, thinks that the only gift I am worthy of is a $2 gift card, is extremely demeaning. It's better to get nothing- that means he forgot that he is supposed to give a bonus. It's annoying, but ppl are human. But to think of getting me a gift/bonus, and then go out and buy a $2 gift card? That's just horrible.

My work gives out a small tzatzke every R”C. Most of the time it’s food and sometimes things like a notepad or mug or lunch. I think most teachers appreciate it, especially knowing that the school is on a limited budget
