Every year, my boss assigns me to scout around for good corporate giveaways before the Christmas season starts. One year, we gave away colorful mugs and shirts printed with the company’s logo. Another year, we had customized laser pens engraved with the company’s name and elegantly designed notebooks. Most of our clients seem to be happy with the items.

This year, we are planning on having customized key chains made using the new company logo. Along with that, the boss wants to order laptop bags for the clients. For us employees, I guess we’ll continue receiving the food gift baskets that have been the traditional gifts ever since I came to work in this company.
