should I be giving them things too? There's four of them. And it's just small stuff such as snacks and fruits but they have been giving me stuff everyday!
since thanksgiving is coming up should I be giving them gifts? |

If opposite sex, give him/her the big kiss and surprise her and say thanks. 
Seriously, that's nice of her/him. I'd say give her/him a nice present.

Yes you should give stuff every so often. helps buy you some 'good will'
Anytime I go to costco, I get a big pack of cookies to share with the teachers which goes down well.
Failing that Koreans (esp women) love those little dunkin donuts minikins. I also give something a bit nicer at christmas. |

| Just as the Koreans do, I bring in coffee cake or fruit now and then. Everyone seems satisfied. |

I work at a combined middle / high school, so when I get stuff at the HS I just give it to someone at the MS and vice versay. It saves me bringing in stuff as well as getting stuck with a lot of useless crap.
(Occasionally I bring in a bag of oranges or something for everybody, though.) |

Usually Thanksgiving gifts come from the boss so if you started giving stuff out it might be a bit strange.
But if you are invited to someone's house near Chuseok make sure you bring one of those gift box sets from the grocery store. |

| I don't usually care to eat any snacks or fruit at all, so I don't care if no one ever brings things in to share again. If they offer, I almost always say no, and I rarely buy snacks for myself. Thus, I bring in nothing at all. |

Bring a cake or some fruit! (even if you never accept anything Qinella  )
You would be surprised what it does |

My Korean co-workers give me stuff too, I thought at first it was because I might be too skinny, I wish, but then one of them called me fat so I knew it wasn't that.
I buy little treats for them, always good to keep them in your good books who knows when you'll need their help! |
