Is that bad?
At work, I get BOGO movie tickets at an already reduced price ($7 for 2 movie tickets - woot!). I give 2 to most everyone and 4 to the two "primaries." We gift to 7 people total (usually 8). I make a little package out of it and add chocolate. This year it's Godiva truffles and Sixlets. Some of the providers are the same as last year. I could have given carwash tickets... I think next year, I'll just do $10 gift cards just to switch it up.
Re: Same gifts for DC providers as last year
Totally fine to give the same gift each year. The DCP might even be hoping you'll do the same thing this year!
