Yeah, it’s a whole thing, it’s called omiyage and it’s seen as an apology for your absence and thanking your boss and colleagues for allowing you time off.
I wonder how far you could stretch it. Get them all (if you’re coming to america, for instance) those little plastic acorns with a little item in it from those coin machines that used to be by every convenience store’s doors. Though I haven’t seen any of those in ages, so maybe not.
I haven’t seen them outside of nerd spaces in years, but the hypothetical coworkers might be entertained by American Gashapon. I think the Japanese ones are always higher quality stuff than ours but there were some entertaining toy lines in those.
Damn, I used to do that for some coworkers because we were actually friends. I cannot imagine how shitty it would feel to be forced to do that.

…y’know, your entitlement to paid leave.
