Company gift exchange

Recommended Posts

Anyone else trade names at work, dept, etc.?
We did today, planning pot luck, monthly birthday cake for Dec.
It's a $20 limit..I just mentioned " Hey, that's a skydive"
So, now I have to get out and go shopping, find a parking space, stand in line, etc.

We used to have company gift exchanges that were blind drawings. You did'nt know what you were getting till you drew a number. We had one practical joker that used to do things like get 2 or 3 tubes of Preperation H and wrap them up to give away. :D

Other great gifts from him included:

Nerf guns - I LOVED shooting my boss with mine
Hurricane Whistle - the ones that are at like 140 db's and blow coworkers eardrums out
Misc office supplies that still had the company logo on them
Yesterday is history
And tomorrow is a mystery

These things aways, always, ALWAYS blow.

No matter how nice a gift you give, you always end up with some piece of crap you just toss in the trash 20 seconds after it's over.

Still, take the high road and don't buy a "gag" gift like a Chia-pet shaped like a penis. Yes, they do make them. My former assistant ended up with one a couple years ago. Instead if the limit is $20, then spend $21 and get something nice and try to make sure that the person that winds up with it would like it.

You'll end up with a piece of crap, but at least one person will get something nice and hopefully remember that you gave it to them.

I like the white elephant exchange too. Very cheap to do and it is usually pretty hilarious. I had a boss one year who put in his prized golf club as the gift. He was trying his best to get it back!

The good Ole nose hair trimmer so them you really care!



Actually, I wouldn't mind having one of those!
I did the chia pet (scooby doo) before.
I'm thinking about getting a real old coin..I got 1 years ago in an extra large box..deep inside was a little piggy bank and inside was a Large cent over 120 year old!..That could be a keepsake.

If only they made dirty Chia pets, that'd be GREAT for gag gifts.

Get a Chia dick with balls or a Chia pussy. That would be freak'n hilarious!


only problem is that you wouldnt need to grow anything on the chia kat (pussy)

of if you did it would be in decorative designs
