Would you accept a present from a coworker?

[Potteplante]

My coworker put on these adorable little "pulse warmers/wrist warmers" and I asked if I could take a picture, so I could make some for myself. I was fortunate and found the "recipe" for them, so didn't have to count them out but I made some adjustments and since she be hinting that she would like another pair (and outright asked if I'd make her a pair, she'd of course be willing to pay for mats + time) and I've been dodging it like a pro.

My issue isn't that I don't want to make them for her but that I have no idea how to price what I make, so I never sell - I've once upon a time, agreed to just knit out of "the kindness of my heart" but of course people took advantage of that so I stopped. Found out her birthday is next week, gives me just enough time to quickly throw together a pair but I don't want to put her in an awkward position.

Due to our work and how much time we spend together, we are quite close but we've never exchanged presents.

Seems okay to me and you don’t do it on company time

[Potteplante]

This particular item, I'd not be working on when working, have to follow a pattern but I do knit "on company time", especially if I get a Monday evening shift and during one of my work weekends.

Ask your boss

You're giving her a birthday present, nothing wrong with that. If I actually saw my coworkers, I would probably do more than message them Happy Birthday.

I have given some and received some from coworkers.

Depends on the circumstances and our relationship
