X'mas comes early to our office!
State of Being : Joyous
Yes. X'mas comes especially early to our office this year. In fact, it is 13 days early to be precise. A mini X'mas party was held in the office today, way earlier than the intended date but since many of our colleagues will be going away for the holidays, the celebration was moved to today.
Earlier last week, each of us had to pick names randomly out of a box to determine the person whom each will be getting presents for. Tricky part is the presents need only to be around $10. What gifts could I possibly get for $10 and yet still look presentable?
Finally decided on a $15.90 stylish tissue box cover since I noticed my female colleague J has a "naked" box of tissues by her office desk. Had initially contemplated on getting her scented sachets packed personally in a gift box. However, eventually decided to drop the idea after finding the gift kinda too cheapo-looking. And thank god that I did not follow through the idea cos else my gift would have appeared to be the cheapest of the lot.
In return for the tissue box cover, my gift was a pencil/pen holder from M. Initial reaction to that was of disappointment. But after I replaced my old holder with the new one, I actually found the gift looked fairly nice sitting on my desk! =P
