Of those 56%, about one-third plan to spend $10 or less, one-in-five expect to spend more than $25 and nearly one-in-ten expect to spend more than $50 per employee.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Here is the definitive list of top 10 items:<\/p>\n One note on the gag gift – they caution you to make sure you know the employee before attempting to pull it off.
