Question

I work in an office, and I have a manager who was considerate about a matter that is important to me. I am thinking of giving him some chocolate as a gift to express my appreciation for his consideration, so that he is left with a good feeling and will continue to be willing to accommodate me in the future. Is this something that is permitted to do?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

It is permitted. 

You must, however, be careful with the wording so that it is not personal or “friendly,” but rather maintains proper distance. 

For example, write “With great appreciation for your special consideration,” and not “I appreciate your good heart.”
