Mr Miagi Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Well im 23, and currently working my first job. I have known the girls I work with for a good 2 years now (we are all pretty much the same age), and we are becoming really good mates! We've been having game-nights etc. and pretty fun times at work (which makes work everyday pretty awesome!). However, working with a large group of women day-in day-out can get crazy, and sometimes we can get a bit rough with the teasing (on everyone though, it gets dispersed, lol). Anyway, id like to do something nice for the girls without being too corny. Any ideas? They arnt "girly girls", but I reckon they would just appreciate something nice done for them for a change. I was thinking just a nice bunch of flowers one morning? Would it be a bit weird? Link to comment
sidehop Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I would save the flowers for thank-you occasion or a special event. But something like specialty cookies, chocolates and something that everyone can enjoy will probably be appreciated. Link to comment
hidden_kitten Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 it's great that you are enjoying your work and like your colleagues so much, but I also agree that flowers should be left for a special occasion like a birthday. when I worked in an office someone would bring in cake or cookies every couple of weeks, that DEFINITELY went down well!

FathomFear Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Although your intentions are admirable you need to be mindful of treating people differently in the workplace based on sex. ie, if you wouldn't buy flowers for a male coworker then I wouldn't advise doing so for a female one, unless it's for a special occasion and wouldn't be confused for a sexual advance.

fLuiD Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 You can't go wrong with 2 dozen doughnuts and some coffee. The flowers should be left for special occasions such as birthdays. Link to comment
