Gift or no gift.. What would you do??

The manager at our local video store is getting married soon, and I would like to give him a wedding present, like maybe a gift card to somewhere... Would it be appriorate?

The reason is because he usually holds all the new releases for me until I come in that day to get them and he is incrediablly patient and kind to my kids while we are in the store!! (MY kids are 8, 4, 2 1/2)

    Sure Dee,,, what a thotful person you are! It's just like giving the postman a Christmas gift. People are so hard nowadays, it's wonderful to receive a present from a customer, and it shows your appreciation for his kindness.

    see ya round!

    If you were invited to the wedding, a gift would be expected. Since you are neither a close personal friend nor family member, a card with your good wishes would be more appropriate. But do what feels right to you. If you choose to give something, keep it modest so the recipients do not feel obligated.

    i think getting him a wedding present is a fantastic idea. It shows that you are happy to celebrate his happiness and you appreciate the things he does for you! A gift card is a great way to go, maybe to either a spa for the newlyweds or a home store.

    Yes, I think maybe a gift card to 'bed, bath & beyond" is good bc they have a ton of stuff that a newly married couple would need, or a gift card for a restaurant where him, and his fiancee can eat together is nice.

    Its OK to give him a gift card as a wedding gift. I think that's a very nice thing especially if your on a friendly level with him .

    Definitely the right thing to do. Make sure it is not too extravagant so it will not embarrass him. Another thought is a gift card to a restaurant. That way he and his fiancee can use it and you won't run the risk of him or her thinking you are flirting or have feelings for him in any way.

    Absolutely. To show someone that you appreciate them by giving them a wedding gift is kind and thoughtful.

    Yes, get him a wedding gift, but a gift, not a gift card.

    Get him a gift. A lot of times, friends and family will get the couple small appliances and stuff for the house to help get their house stocked with whatever they need.
