Good afternoon people. Christmas is really coming and Christmas parties are everywhere now.There are some gifts came in the office today which I personally received since it is my client/supplier.But when I signed the delivery receipt I found out that it is not for us in the head office but instead its for some of our branches. Gifts for the Christmas parties of our branches wherein each of them has one gift each from the supplier,I guess its for their raffle.Gifts that I received contains stand fan, kettle, flat iron and rice cooker.We do hope that we could received too for our raffle during our Christmas party here in the head office.

Wow I would love to have all those gifts you got too! I remember those days when I was a working student and every Christmas I received lotsa gifts! I missed those days. Now here, there is nothing that I will receive at work since they do not celebrate Christmas and there will be no Christmas party too. I would just do it with my friends. More gifts coming for you!

well since it's your supplier then you can ask them in a friendly way "where's mine?" they taught that you will be happy for the gifts which are intended for the raffles, tell them of course not, there should be something of a token for you. you know sometimes they tend to be not thoughtful personally.

Well there are some who give some token to me. Just like today, I received a mossino folding umbrella from one of my supplier. So thankful since my umbrella was already broken and really need to replace.

I would love to have all of the gifts that you received in the mail for your branch offices. I think that it is great that your suppliers are willing to provide gifts that can be used at the company Christmas parties. When I was working outside the house, the only Christmas gift that I ever got from any of the companies that I worked for was that the hospital would give us a twenty-five dollar gift certificate to the local grocery store to help us with our Christmas feasts.

Yeah they are quite generous enough to send us gifts for the party. There some who give gift certifiates too before but i dont know if there is any this time. Maybe we are good payer to them. Hope we receive enough gifts so every one of us could have even one gift.

Hahaha! I know how you feel. Maybe you can ask some of your suppliers for some freebies to for Christmas party. I'm sure they won't mind specially if your company was a good customer for them for a long time. I'm sure they will give in. Just give it a try. You'll never know unless you try it! Good luck!

It is nice to receive gifts from suppliers. One time, I won a small TV - didn't even knew that the supplier had put my name in the raffle. It was a nice surprise. Hope you get what you want and need. No point in receiving a flat iron when you already have flat hair. :) Anyways, Have a Wonderful and Joyfilled Christmas.

We do hope that more gifts will come so party will be merry. I do hope I could get something nice this time since I am not lucky in raffles. The grandest that I get was a dvd player.

After seeing so many gifts you may have felt ,they are for you people just for a second. It happens generally when its celebration and if anyone handles anything we feel it as if it is for us. But so sad they are for other branches. but don't worry i hope they do send some more gifts for your branch too. By the way the gifts are really good ones. everyone likes to get one at least. hehe

Oh gifts for our branches are keep coming here in the head office since we are the main office so clients used to send it here. Nice to see these gifts during this holidays which excites employees what they might get during the raffle.
