Anyone who knows me, knows cooking is not my specialty. That is why I am not one of those bloggers who takes a photo of some masterpiece it is for dinner and share the recipe. I can, however, cook fairly well. Maybe it’s because I’m good at following instructions in a recipe. Anyway, the food (almost) any combination makes great gifts. Here is a sampling of ideas.

Today, wine bottle openers and drinkware gift sets make more appropriate corporate holiday gifts. One advantage of these corporate holiday gifts is their durability and high functionality. Recipients can reuse their personalized wine bottle openers and drinkware gifts sets for years to come, instead of disposing a wine bottle and your company name and logo after the drink is gone. And, giving these corporate holiday gifts shows employees and clients that you support their interests outside of the office place.

Question by ericakamp19: Corporate Holiday party – prize giveaway ideas.?
Each year, I plan our company holiday party. And every year we give out gift cards and prizes. We normally just pull names out of a hat and that person wins the prize. However, this year I wanted it to be a little more fun, maybe someone would have to do something to win the prize. We have over 100 employees so I don’t need anything that’s going to be too confusing or time consuming. At first I thought of a silent auction..guest would guess on the value of a prize..but that would take a lot of work on my part, if we had 100+employees and 20+ gifts to do it for..then i thought maybe a trivia game of some sort….
Any ideas?

This event is pretty upscale, we always have it at one of the best hotels in Boston. Just like a fancy wedding
Forgot to add…this really can’t be geared towards a Christmas theme..we have a number of religions.
But I do like your ideas!! thanks

Answer by Carlee
when i was little we used to play a game around christmas. everyone gets in a circle & each person has a gift thats wrapped up. its a story that you have to read outloud & everytime it says right or left the people have to pass their present in the direction that it says.

this is the story:

Christmas was almost here, and Mother RIGHT was finishing the Christmas baking.

Father RIGHT, Sue RIGHT, and Billy RIGHT returned from their last-minute Christmas errands.

“There’s not much LEFT to be done,” said Father RIGHT as he came into the kitchen.

“Did you leave the basket of food at church?” asked Mother RIGHT.

“I LEFT it RIGHT where you told me to,” said Father RIGHT.

“I’m glad my shopping is done,” said Billy RIGHT. “I don’t have any money LEFT.”

The hall telephone rang, and Susan RIGHT LEFT to answer it.

She rushed back and told the family “Aunt Tillie RIGHT LEFT a package for us RIGHT on Grandma RIGHT’s porch.

I’ll go over there RIGHT now and get it.” she said as she LEFT in a rush.

Father RIGHT LEFT the kitchen and brought in the Christmas tree.

By the time Susan RIGHT returned, Mother RIGHT, Father RIGHT, and Billy RIGHT had begun trimming the tree.

The entire RIGHT family sang carols as they finished the decorating.

Then they LEFT all the presents arranged under the tree and went to bed, hoping they had selected the RIGHT gifts for their family.

Now I hope you have the RIGHT present for yourself, because that’s all that’s LEFT of our story…..

Except to wish you a Merry Christmas….Isn’t that RIGHT?
