Does someone know the proper business etiquette for getting holiday presents for vendors? Recently, I'd hired a vendor / graphic designer (owns her own company) to do some work for us. We've been working very closely with her, so I invited her to our holiday lunch. Prior to the holiday lunch, I left $50 gift cards for my two direct reports. After our lunch, she gave me a $100 gift card, thanking me for our business. I feel the need to return the favor, but feel awkward getting a her present too -- especially one that matches her $100. My wife says, heck no: she's a vendor and I'm not obligated to get her anything. Still, I don't know what to do. I've received gift baskets and cookies from other vendors, but don't feel the need to send them anything in return. But for this particular vendor (since I work so closely with her), I feel like I have to get her something. What's the proper etiquette?

you can give her a gift basket of homemade baked goodies, it does not need to be worth 100 dollars or anything...just a gesture of appreciation.how about a gift basket of baked goodies-cookies, cupcakes, brownies and flavored teas and coffee?i am sure she will like it.Try searching yeolesweets on the web. They got some gift choices/variations for inspiration.
