Outside the Office

　　办公室之外

　　It's your call whether to buy gifts for clients, vendors or people you have a professional relationship with outside the office.

　　是否要给客户、供应商或办公室以外和你有业务关系的人买礼物，这就要你自己拿主意了。

　　If your office sends out gifts to clients and vendors, there's 'no need to do something on top of that,' says Ms. Post. Write a nice card if you feel like that 'person really made your year.'

　　波斯特说，如果你们办公室给客户或供应商送了礼物，你就没有必要再额外送了。如果你觉得对方在这一年里真是你的贵人，那么就送张精美的卡片。

If you decide to buy gifts for clients or vendors, make sure their company guidelines allow them to accept gifts. You also should check your company's gift-giving guidelines, especially if you plan to use company funds to purchase presents.

　　如果你决定给客户或供应商买礼物，要确保他们的公司行为守则允许他们接受礼物。你还应该察看自己公司的送礼规定，特别是如果你打算用公司的钱买礼物的话。

　　If you attend a holiday party with colleagues in someone's home, make sure you bring a hostess gift. Leah Ingram, a gift and etiquette expert who runs giftsandetiquette.com, says that while wine is usually a popular hostess gift, it may not always be appropriate if it's a work event. A nice box of chocolates or a poinsettia plant are good options, she says。

　　如果你和同事到别人家里开节日派对，一定要给女主人带一份礼物。礼物及礼仪专家、经营giftsandetiquette.com网站的李尔·英格拉姆说，尽管葡萄酒通常是非常受欢迎的礼物，但如果是工作相关的活动，就并不一定合适了。她说，一盒上好的巧克力或是一株一品红都是不错的选择。
