I always feel very uncomfortable that week (and for years took my vacation that week just to be away).  I don't like being "in the spotlight" - other people around here work just as hard but don't have a special time set aside for them.

I feel it is more important for my boss to appreciate me throughout the year than on one special day/week.  A simple (and heartfelt) "thank you" on multiple occasions throughout the year mean more to me than a lunch or balloons or flowers.
