Gift exchange between fellow employees have become a tradition in some office at the time of the celebration of Christmas or New Year. However, you should be careful when choosing a gift for someone. Because according to the lawyers in the UK, one giving a gift can have an impact unwanted legal. Providing a co-worker in a frilly dress or hair dye for colleagues who have gray hair as possible for you was just a joke. But guess who's stupid idea if it can be potentially harmful to yourself legally.

Even the lawyers claimed, give a female colleague a cookbook or kitchen gadget can be regarded as harassment. Gift a bottle of wine is considered to have been used in England, is also not allowed because it could offend people who do not consume alcohol for religious reasons. This incident never experienced by a member of the police in Luton. Exchanging gifts to fellow co-workers whose names are drawn at random has become a popular habit in a number of UK offices. But last year, thanks to one of giving the gift of a package of pork fat and a bottle of wine to a colleague who is religious Muslims, the police had not mentioned his identity, forced to resign from his job. Although colleagues have not complained to the gift given, but the incident was already reported to senior officers, for which he was forced to resign.

"The workers should think carefully before buying a gift to his colleagues, because it can be seen as an insult". Neeta said Laing, chairman of law firm Lewis Hymanson Small, based in Manchester. "Use your common sense, for example, do not provide alcoholic beverages for religious partners or magazines that are insulting or kitchen equipment for working women," said Neeta. "If an employee has accepted, for example, a pair of lacy underwear and considers it as an insult gifts and wishes to continue this abuse case, then it should be taken seriously," he added.
