They are trying to make a statement.
Looks like you are right-- next year: COAL.
Are we sure they know what your gift is and how it works?
Perhaps you need to have a few of your friends visit with this on their caps and jackets.

Or tell them there will be a lottery/random drawing as someone has to lose their job due to budget cuts. Make a point of saying only __________'s name won't be in "the pool" since he had the proper attitude about the gift he received.
Don't you sometimes wish you really could do these things?

Seriously, you really should ask them what is going on, at least you'll get an answer good or bad and won't be left summizing.
If they say something like I don't want this cheap companies gift certificate,, then you tell them it wasn't from the company it was from your own pocket,, then see what they say.
This is your opening to find out, take it.

Well, you could use the gift cards to buy yourself something nice from Penney's, and then give them both thank you cards telling them what you bought and how much you appreciated their generosity... lol...
A dose of reality
A very long time ago, a friend of mine let me work in his business while I was waiting for the government to process my paperwork to teach.
I was happy, he was happy, his customers were happy.
After I'd been there for two months, an acquaintance told me I was being radically underpaid and badly used.
I went in to work the next morning and something in my body language told the boss - my friend - I was unhappy. He asked what was up.
I told him. He showed me the books. I realized that I was damn lucky, he was paying me what I eventually became worth and not what I was worth at the beginning.
These ungrateful assholes have presumed upon your kindness.
Your answer was just right. If you're lucky, they will now quit. I'll bet you anything you like, they're cheating you where ever and when ever they can, including sabotage.

Didn't quite understand your last statement? They are right now what?
What did they say when you told them you bought those cards with your own money?

they know I bought them that does not seem to matter
Sorry all did not get printed.. I told them next year there would me NO bonous and they are now not happy at all.. I did tell my washman since he does not really work in the clean room he would remain on santas good boy list ,, He chuckled and is now working harder than ever. Most of the girls are doing as little as possible this morning.

At this point
I think you've done all you can do. Are you stuck with these assholes or is it possible to get better people?

I just solved the problem
i told the 2 that are causing most the problems since they are so unhappy here the new year would be a good time for them to start a new job. And gave them their checks.. Additudes have made a 100% turn around in less than 5 mins. Amazing..

You did the right thing
Sometimes in business you have to be a bitch and tell people this is the way it is - like it or leave! I am quite sure their attitude has changed radically but I'd be on the lookout for trouble down the line if they don't leave. My experience has been that once a trouble maker, always a trouble maker.
About the gift cards....keep them and buy something you want but wouldn't/couldn't afford. Or, keep them as bonuses for the one employee who showed gratitude during the coming year.

In a few months I'm going to be in the states for my vacations.
If you want, "Miranda Priestly" can spend some days in your company and make things work...

Thank you Thomas
But I assure you there is not much they can come up that I have not already delt with over the years.. Most of the time I like to give them a little time and plenty of rope and let them hang themselves. and most of the time I let them dangle awhile before I cut them down!
