Christmas/Holiday Gifts for Colleagues

What are some of the best gifts your colleagues have given you or you've given? Last year, I made homemade, barrel-aged manhattans poured into nice glass jars, and heat-wrapped them - feedback was great and everyone loved it...

I'm looking to do something a little less time-intensive but thoughtful this year. Any ideas?

Do you like gifting colleagues at the YE?

I typically don't give my colleges anything beyond a card, but I gift the major people I work with throughout the year - lender, equity partner, attorney, broker, regional property manager, etc. - a nice bottle of wine as a thank you.

Just curious, how much is a nice bottle of wine?
