When traveling to Japan, in what situations should you buy a souvenir?

I was sitting in front of the computer at work the other day and my co-worker walked over to me and said here’s a souvenir. I was like “why?” They told me they traveled for their Summer Vacation. On a side note, all my co-workers travel somewhere for their summer vacations. I think it is a Japanese thing but I’m not quite sure. To get back on topic, I read that when you travel to Japan that you should bring a souvenir for your co-workers because you are meeting for the first time or when you go over to someone’s house for dinner or meeting their family (on the same accord of meeting for the first time). But I thought I already went through this with my co-workers again but I guess not. Since being in Japan I think I have gotten souvenirs from about 15 different people. Now when I travel around Japan I always bring back something for the team. To their surprise of course. Ha-ha.

Here are a few pictures of what they bring back from me. Some taste great. Others taste ….. well ……. (you get the idea).
