Company Gift Time Again?

Posted by Cliff on from the that-time-of-the-year dept.

realratso asks: "So it's that time of year again... the holidays. Time to choose the 'company gift' for everyone in our small programming company. We've done all the stuff with the company logo- sweatshirts, t-shirts, travel bags, glasses, mugs, etc. It all seems so boring. Is there any gift which you have received at your workplace that was super-cool, not gender specific, and relatively inexpensive? Something that was really usable and worthwhile that you appreciated, but might not buy for yourself? Maybe a new techno-gadget? (and no, 'just money' is not a valid answer)"

    Anal beads. Seriously.

    Cute, cheap, teaches responsibility.
    And It has the side benefit that next year the workers will hope you don't get them anything.

    Could you give females one thing and males another or does everyone need to get the same thing?

    You like pain, don't you?

    Most geeks already have problems just washing their clothes. No thanks.

    You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.

      Heh, with a name like small furry creature, you better stay away from the anal bead people, or you'll be washing more than just your clothes. . .

    I'd recommend a red Swingline stapler for everyone. Not only will it keep your employees happy, but it'll cut down on your fire insurance rates!
