Is gift giving selfish?
When giving is more about you than it is the other person, it is selfish. No matter how generous the gift, if your intention is for the other person to reciprocate, both of you are better off without it. Sometimes selfishness comes disguised as generosity. It is sneaky and hard to question.

Can a gift be too personal?
As a general rule, gifts that are intended to be put on the recipient’s body—such as perfume, lotion, clothes, or jewelry—are too personal to give to work colleagues. Gag gifts should also be avoided because they can be hit or miss, especially if you don’t know the recipient that well.
