In my time as a Customer Service Manager for a national communications company, we received a number of corporate holiday gifts throughout the years.  With gifts ranging from sparkling cider to deep dish pizzas to corporate logo can coolers, some gifts were remarkable and some were forgettable.  In a corporate situation, there are just some gift ideas that don’t turn out as well as the giver had intended. One of the worst holiday gifts our company received was a gift card to an upscale spa.  If the gift was specifically for me, I would have welcomed it and considered it one of the best gifts ever.  However, with a staff of 15, how does one choose who gets the gift card?  It wasn’t a high enough value to give every employee a spa service, so we ended up giving the card to the owner of our company, who gave it to his wife. Another questionable corporate holiday gift we received was a box filled with logo t-shirts.  While we appreciated the sentiment, every shirt size was “Large”, so about half of our staff couldn’t fit into them.  I understand the thought behind the gift and I have no problem advertising for one of my vendors, but the vendor should have either taken the time to get all of our sizes or played it safe and sent a gift basket filled with food – where one size fits all! One of our favorite holiday gifts was an enormous wicker basket filled with fresh fruit, gourmet chocolates and roasted nuts.  The basket was wrapped with a satin ribbon stamped with our vendor’s logo, and the foodstuffs inside were appealing to everyone in the office.  This basket made a great gift for all, whether we were watching our calories or not!  Food gifts were by far the big winners in our office – we received a delicious honey-baked ham one year that was used for our office pot luck, and another year our vendor in Chicago over-nighted some authentic deep dish pizzas to our office.  It was by far the best lunch of the year!

Fall has officially fallen and depending on where you are right now, you’ve got either yellow, gold & red leaves marking autumn’s arrival, or snow sprinkling your lawn to warn you heavier snows are on their way. While this is nature’s way of telling us it’s time to hunker down and settle ourselves for the long season, there is another message being sent that those wise enough to heed will appreciate greatly: don’t let last minute gifts ruin your holiday season! Year after year, nature gives us all sorts of warnings that the weather’s going to change, that the seasons are turning and that life is getting ready to take a big nap, but rarely do people use this slow down time to get out there and make sure their Christmas gifts are personalized gifts
