I appreciate all of my xmas gifts...however
 

You ever get gifts from companies you do business with? I usually get a few packages a year from companies.

One company has sent packages for the past 5 years.

This year, my bill with that company was bigger than ever....but my package was the smallest it's ever been.

Is that insulting or no? :disgust

Well you need a new man then hon if he's getting fatter and his "package" is getting smaller.
Time to dump this Bill guy.

:pimp

Used to get cool gifts every year. Custom engraved ipods, a bucket of lobsters, headphones, backpacks, a 21yr old bottle of Scotch (I don't even drink) hard drives, Amazon cards, etc.

Last year I got a nice Christmas card. This year at least I'm still alive. Next year... ???

Amen, here's to the next! nuf said! :) :2 cents:

Times are tough all around.

Wow you did get the cool gifts. I never got anything nearly as cool.

I'd definitely take a bucket of crab legs smothered in garlic butter. =) Nommmmm

lol that happens to all you men when you get fatter. It just starts disappearing. Inch by inch.

My husband lost 30lbs and gained an inch. But that could be the Cialis or whatever nonsense he takes.

The VP wants to have a meeting with me in a little bit (we've been in hard negotiations for 2 weeks)....I want to press him about the little package just for shits and giggles. But the fact that I've been negotiating with him (and talking about moving somewhere else) is what I feel prompted my little package. Fucker.

Who needs all those chocolates anyway :disgust

I'd rather have a chicken or goat. =)

Well, I think I found 20 lbs he lost. After the 1st I'm going on a diet :1orglaugh

I've had some great gifts over the years, have worked with some really thoughtful reps who chose personalized gifts :thumbsup

It's really nice to feel appreciated.

When I first started getting gifts from companies I was like OH SHITTTT I made it! :1orglaugh

I'll do it with you. We can drop 20 together. I say it every year...but then I find myself still carrying it around come Christmas time.

That's how I felt for my b-day! LOL that robe is NICE! :thumbsup:1orglaugh

I think Lightspeed use to send me gifts back in the good ole days. Vacares sent me a nice t-shirt and coffee cup last year


ya, I always gain from thanksgiving to the new year then try to lose it.

You need a PSK King shirt LOL.

Okay, I dunno my dear, it's hard to buy gifts for men you don't live with....so just look for a bonus ;) You are mah man!

LOL @ PSK King shirt. I like cash too! :2 cents::2 cents:

Marriage = lack of usage = shrinkage.

If you have the best earnings..well that means you got your reward upfront...small package doesn't mean disrespect

I've never even gotten a crappy t-shirt. I must be way down on the food chain.

I used to think that too, but then a few years ago, I got sent me a car!

After the last Cammunity event put on by YNOT, Takedown Privacy gave sent me a $100 gift card. I really worked my ass off at that show and I thought it was nice of them....

I got my Christmas present today.
The trash truck picked it all up that they left last week.

I'm rocking now!
I bet I've got 6 eggs in the fridge.
Party with Egg fu none.

I just got a calendar, some chocolates, and some other little things. Been a while, though.

Have you shat in it yet? :1orglaugh

That is really nice and you deserved it. It's very nice to be appreciated.

Sounds like maybe your trash people aren't that great. Give them a $20.00 in a card anyway they will do better for just a small amount.

That's what I got, chocolates. They were actually quite delicious. They were sprinkled with some salty caramel bits. Mmm

So it's not that I don't appreciate it. However, this company for the last few years has normally sent me a large basket - like 4 times the size. So I was feeling slighted.

The lesson here is to start out small and go big, don't start out big and go small. :Oh crap

Back in 2004 I generated about 1/5 the sales I do now.

Back then I received 2 bikes, 4 ipods, gift cards like crazy, clothing with company logos like mad, coffee cups, note pads, a drawing pad, many company logo things like wireless mouse/keyboard, laptop, monitor, flipflops, sunglasses, many hats, many beer/whiskey glasses with company logos, tickets to Vegas with hotel room, hammock, beach chairs, so many things. Most I gave away as gifts to others.

This year: a few gift cards in so-so amounts, but nothing like before ($500 becomes $150), bluetooth ear buds (kind of nice surprise), wifi sockets (Alexa turn on the office lights) and a few cards.

Difference in 2004 to now? I'd say about $5000 to $500?

And the fact that I now send them 5 times the sales.

But it is what it is I guess. Crazy too is that I would imagine there are about 5% of us left who send what I did in 2004. So you'd think the ones that are left would get extra love? Or maybe they were sending me things and not the other 95%...

I´d suggest that 2020 has been a push on everyone and every business, many people worked hard this year and some have found themselves being made redundant.

Any present sent from a company is a gift, appreciate it :)

Merry Christmas :thumbsup

I got some a nice giftcard, a small giftcard, a nice bonus credit from juicyads, and some masks from traffichaus lol

Yeah..last year, coffee mugs, t-shirts, and hats. Nothing this year...

So....just like sex. Got it. :thumbsup
