Is is appropriate for a spouse to give boss a gift from Victoria Secret?
23Kisses asked:
A man who you’ve been seriously dating for some time gives his co-worker (boss) a gift card from Victoria Secrets as a wedding gift. Is that professional? Would you be concerned especially if he has never bought you anything (as far as clothes) and you have never met the person. You were not even invited to the wedding. What do you think?

present idea
Sounds a little fishy to me.
gift for him
well, if i were you, i’d be really jealous and kinda suspicious. i’d try asking him why he did that. hope that helps!
present idea
Id just say hes not a very good gift giver.
I wouldn’t think much of it.
Also, he’s just a guy. Guys will always be goofs.
Lastly, if his boss was a male, then yes, it would be unprofessional
haha

I do not think it is professional, however there may be circumstances where it is appropriate. I depends on how close knit the organization is. If there are only a couple of workers and everyone is close. If it is for instance a plant with many workers, and he is just a person working, no, it is not right. Especially only from him. The gift should be sent since you as a couple were not invited and let go at that. Personally, he should go to where they are registered and drop 20 bucks on a gift she has asked for. Other then that, a congrats card would have sufficed.

You could be over-analyzing the situation (girls tend to do that), but I would be concerned. I definitely know where you are coming from, but all you can really do is ask him about it and tell express to him why this would upset you. How would he feel if the situation i reversed? Playboy subscription for your boss, lol?
gift bags
If your trying to make a play for the boss, then yes. By all means.

The woman is getting married. I think maybe he is confused about what a tasteful gift is, but is trying to get her something any way.

I would think of him as a man who doesn’t know how to shop for a woman and played it “safe” by getting a gift card from Victoria Secret.
