It's Christmas. Again. And that means that you've got to maximize your time and prune down your shopping list. Now, if it so happens that you or someone you know works in the corporate sector, you may want to think about some corporate Christmas gifts. Yeah, they can be cheesy and yes, they tend to be gift baskets.
Who doesn't like baked goods? There is no shame sending a massive basket of baked goods. People love baked goods, but there is the classic cheese log and sausage roll. Or you could opt for a massive fruit basket. As long as you can eat it, your corporate cohorts will be happy.
Now, the problem, as with all gift-giving endeavors, is the cost. Don't panic. All you need is a few good friends who are tingling with the spirit of the season. If you can take advantage of this spirit, you can get enough people on board to give and give big. The corner kitchen will never be the same again.
You can get online and find a few sites that can help you get this giving caper off the ground. First off, you'll need to send out a few emails, get some people agreed on the right gift basket (would a basket of wine be inappropriate?), and get people to start pitching in. This is where is can get a little tricky. People say they want to give -- and then they don't. If you use an online service, you can avoid all the awkwardness of having to ask and remind people. Emails will do that for you.
Giving as a group is an act of group love. You start a love wave that is well-timed for the season. Giving is always better than receiving (well, almost), so get your friends and family together and start giving stuff. Though the florescent lights would tell you differently, the office is still a loving place. It's a place filled with people who are trying their best to make a living, and that always deserves a treat. Happy holidays and good eating!
