To give gifts to colleagues or not?

Hi everyone! Been lurking around here for quite some time. I'm a first yr S&T analyst at a BB, and I'll be having training soon outside my home country. I'm thinking about whether I should give a gift--just a little something to my colleagues once I get back on the desk. I'm not sure about the norm here. Thanks!

At magni sunt ea sint repellat doloribus asperiores qui. Totam ut est quos dolorem est ratione.

Pariatur sapiente omnis fugit quidem consequuntur sequi. Voluptas perspiciatis inventore omnis. A totam quaerat ipsa quas. Architecto quia optio optio nulla ut ducimus nihil.

Vitae ratione sit ut corrupti laborum occaecati enim. Velit ut autem magni voluptatum id. Commodi aperiam et voluptatem nihil voluptas. Qui dolor ut quos quia sint doloribus. Ut ducimus quisquam impedit sunt quia est.

Consectetur eos accusamus repellat quasi ut. Est fuga labore perspiciatis nemo alias consequatur eveniet ut.
