twiley Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) 4 large tins of popcorn, 3 fullsize fruit baskets, tins upon tins of holiday cookies, 2 gingerbread houses, mounds of pistachios and a enough holiday cards and music CDs to open a small store. We must have been good this year, I don't ever remember getting this much crap sent to us. I'll be a porker by New Years at this rate. Edit: And we've still got 2 weeks to go.

Dutch Oven Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) It seems like we've got two new trays/boxes of something showing up each day. Cookies, popcorn, pastries, etc. No doubt I'll be putting a few lbs on as well. I'm just waiting for my clients that bring me booze to swing by!

Ziachild007 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 So far just a can of peanuts, a few packs of hot chocolate and apple cider and sugar cookies. Haven't gotten anywhere near the amount of stuff we usually get, despite a record year in sales. (though its probably better for my health.)

Jimmy Neutron Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 We're not allowed to accept gifts - company policy. Instead, we take the goodies offered and deliver them down at the local rescue mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Linguist Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) We started getting stuff yesterday. So far; cashews, wine, cookies & cake. Im waiting for the lapdance... We send most of our clients Rumcakes made by a local baker. These things are so moist, i swear you could squeeze Rum out into a glass!

Azazello1313 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 We get nothing here, Fed's can't accept gifts well technically the rule is, you can't give someone of a higher pay-grade a gift worth more than $10. so in the federal government, the chit gifts flow uphill.

chiefjay Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) Not good so far. One gift package of goodies from a go between our largest client, he gets a nice commission throughout the year. Boss hasn't mentioned when we'll get our Xmas gift yet which is a happy hour with appetizers. Nothing else so far. Edit for my terrible typing.

twiley Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 OK, so I thought we were doing pretty good here until my wife started bringing home gifts AND started getting gifts delivered to her from vendors. She's a marketing manager and deals with agencies all over the US and also works with the big movie channels. Here's what she's gotten: 3 Harry & David fruit baskets Package of steaks from Omaha Steaks $200 gift card to Nordstroms IPOD nano Reidel vinum cabernet sauvignon wine glasses (4) Season 1 and 2 of Entourage and a bunch of other crap.

The Holy Roller Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 So far I have received a switchblade knife, ten pounds of fudge, uncountable cookies, and an invitation to church. 7th graders are so predictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Our top customer sent three strippers to our Christmas party. It wouldn't have been so bad but one of the strippers got his ornaments stuck on the tree and one of the secretaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I now work from home, so I got a whole lot of nothing! I think our office, though, got plenty of cookies, candy, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) We're getting more fancy-pants food and snacks than we could possibly eat. We're not doing as well in the booze department, though. Edited December 29, 2006 by yo mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
