I wish there weren't any gifts. Or a Starbucks card at the max. It's such a waste of money and stuff. Ours did a toy and clothes buy for local families In need last year and that's just so much more useful all around.

My favorite are the blue boxes one client sends us every year. His admin has great taste. Over the years we've received platters, vases, glassware, and general serving dishes. My cabinets are full of beautiful China and glassware because of her.

Actually, this isn't true. I work for a defense contractor, but on the commercial side, and we still have to worry about receiving gifts. Just be aware.

Not popcorn from them, PLEASE! Over the last 20 years a few people have gotten that for me. It has ALWAYS been stale! Every SINGLE time. I taste it and then throw away the whole thing. Every. Single. Time.

Does it have to be food? My DH works for a company that hires small businesses for video production work. There is one company that hits it out of the park every year with practical gifts. My favorite gift so far has been a REI picnic blanket that is waterproof on one side and tan fleece on the other. I keep it in the car for soccer etc.

We once got Middle Eastern sweets from a place in Michigan and they were so good I've been ordering from there since. Otherwise, chocolate, fruit, cookies are fine, though I've yet to get anything exceptional.
