I know it may not mean much, but I am now a follower of yours and look forward to more postings. <br /><br />As for business gifts, I haven't sent any that have offended anyone as of late (I hope not) but my boss Shane has told me he feels pressured to eat food when its sent by clients. I suppose I can see where that gets overwhelming, especially when one's attempting to conserve their poor waistline. <br /><br />-J,Evelyn J.

Can't wait to read Have Mercy. You're one of my favorite authors. I jumped ship for a couple years after Cherijo became Jarn, but I recently cautiously tried the books after Rebel Ice and they did not disappoint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-15306977603120214272010-12-03T09:50:20.149-05:002010-12-03T09:50:20.149-05:00This year I've decided to send Yankee candle g...This year I've decided to send Yankee candle gift sets.Robin Baynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640632701164428942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-11966927971197047302010-12-03T08:59:38.580-05:002010-12-03T08:59:38.580-05:00Back when I was working outside the house, my all ...Back when I was working outside the house, my all time favorite holiday gift was this thing called a Kringle. It's a danish type thing made into a ring and filled with yummy goodness. I'd stalk the mailman waiting for mine to come. Nowadays the only gifts we get are from my husband's work. The fresh peaches were awesome and he's especially fond of the toffee. <br /><br />On the other side of the exchange, I've given out baskets of homebaked cookies for years. This year I'm not doing it because my waistline can't handle another cookie extravaganza. We'll see how the former recipients take the news.B.E.

I used to fill them with different body washes and soaps when she was in college (because she was single and dating and needed to smell good!). Now that she is a doctor in a busy office, I fill her gift bag with various anti-bacterial washes, waterless gels and hand lotions. She is in contact with a lot of patients every day and her hands were drying out from all of the constant washing. I stay away from any heavy fragrances and stick with neutrals like lemon or even scentless. She loves them! And I stalk Bath and Body all year long for their sales so I'm not spending a great deal of money!<br />Tami<br />JacksonvilleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-38377877245327251422010-12-03T03:38:59.162-05:002010-12-03T03:38:59.162-05:00When I was an editor, my favourite gift was the su...When I was an editor, my favourite gift was the super-fancy flower arrangements from the high-end florist in town. A) They had a finite life, so I didn't have to deal with it forever, and B) I didn't get flowers very often, so it wasn't like I was buried in them.<br /><br />I usually donated things like perpetual calendars or desk stuff, because chances were I would already have one. And none of my flock of writers ever made me anything handmade, so I couldn't say how that would go over -- a lot would depend on the quality of the work and the aesthetics of the giver.Aysehttp://www.blue-room.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-75972992358891116072010-12-03T03:35:14.226-05:002010-12-03T03:35:14.226-05:00I suppose this is a typical English reserve thing,...I suppose this is a typical English reserve thing, but I don't send or expect to receive anything more than sincere good wishes.<br /><br />Also, I've chosen you for a <a href="http://david-bridger.livejournal.com/123611.html" rel="nofollow">blog award</a>.

But personally, I do love cheese and sausage gifts!! ^_^ Hmm, my parents sometimes give their colleagues a bottle or two of wine. <br /><br />Desk stuff = always appreciated! :D <br /><br />~TRA<br /><br />http://xtheredangelx.blogspot.comWendy Luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048944852796207898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-88206513770129598232010-12-03T00:31:46.379-05:002010-12-03T00:31:46.379-05:00My agent is a junk-food foodie, so every year I se...My agent is a junk-food foodie, so every year I send something munchable for the whole office. Brownie assortments (from Fairy Tale Brownies) went over well, but last year, when I sent a collection of Dale and Thomas Popcorn, not only did my agent send his usual gushing thank you email, so did another agent and their accounts manager. They got another, different, variety collection this year. ;)<br /><br />My editor, who I know better, gets more personal things (also usually food related). I once made her a couch-sized quilt, and another time, a hand-made christmas stocking full of goofy little toys and candies.<br /><br />I've also sent 'Iowa Giftpacks' full of various snacks and things from Iowa. I hear the Pig-A-Pult was a hit in the office. ;)Tammy Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182229738140983779noreply@blogger.com
