I dunno.... I personaly find "generic" gift cards cheap, and tactless. Real easy way out kinda thing.

But the mailroom guy might appreciate it. I would think you were a cheap SOB trying to get christmas outta the way.

As far as chocolates being a gay gift.. The common sign of appreciation among corporate types seems to be food... You guys are still in junior highschool so I understand your homophobia... There's nothing wrong with giving a guy chocolates... Don't give him a heart shaped box, mind you.. Or give him a flowerly greeting card with it.. Give him a box of chocolate and say "thanks for helping out" followed by a firm handshake.. totally heterosexual and glassy.. I'd say alcohol is classier and even more heterosexual BUT you can get in trouble and it's not exactly professional...

dude, im 26 and chocolates is a gay gift...

I guess you have to be fairly confident of yourself to give and receive chocolates as a gift.. Lighten up people, it's freaking cocoa mixed with milk and sugar.. Nothing sexual about it! I've received chocolate as a gift from my uncle last year and I didn't blow him under the thanksgiving's day table in return..

If I must get into the history of this: Cocoa beans were used as currency during ancient times. Through time, classy people would give chocolates (often small dark chocolate pieces covered in gold foil) as small signs of appreciation. Sure, due to the commercialization of Valentine's Day, chocolate does seem to some as a token of love as well.. But in most cultures, chocolate is still seen as a token of appreciation (not just of love)... But, again, you gotta be pretty mature about yourself.

oh yeah well im soo confident in my heterosexuality that i walk around in assless chaps and a tight leather vest handing out tulips to strange men out on the street. beat that!

oh and last time i checked cocoa beans arent currency anymore.

Assless chaps is not the same as a box of chocolates... Sigh..

it is if your confident and mature enough. stop being so immature.

If your gonna give him chocolets then you might as well Box yourself up and ship the box to him. When he recieves it pop out nude and say "Your package has arrived big boy"

Wow.. We've got some uptight people here.. I'm sorry that suggested anything.. Though I have a sneaking suspicion that I was more helpful than you people shouting gay..

Slap him on the ass and tell him "Good Job!"

i just put the kaibash on chocolates, flowers, smoking jacket , etc.

i suggested a GC to a good restaurant, the pocket knife was a good idea, a beer would be better choices if he doesnt want sexual harresment panda knocking on his door.

While upstairs in the, um, "reading room" I had an idea. One that I think will work out great. (If you can get it off the ground.)

See if you cannot get the entire office, perhaps the entire building it it uses only one mailroom, to pitch in for a "Mailroom appreciation lunch."

If you can swing this weekly, that would be ideal. But if you can at least hold it once a month, it will be good.

If weekly, you can go "cheap." I estimate around 1 large pizza + 1 2Liter soda per 2 mailroom clerks.

Don't skimp like this if you are going monthly. You do not have to go Red Lobster or anything, (I know... Not very "upper crust," but available in almost all states so it is a good reference.) but make it a bit less "poker night."

This completely takes away the "gay factor," while at the same time eliminates any jealousy amongst the mailroom clerks. (If there are more than one that is.)

The only thing is, it has to be maintained. If it fails after 2 or three times, it will have the opposite effect.

And if you can keep it up, it will greatly improve the moral of the clerks. (It is a fairly crappy job overall. Good office staff can make it better, but it is still crappy job.)

What if he hates his job and you get him a box cutter. He might feel like poo and use the box cutter on himself.

I think a more appropiate gif would be a nice pack of shipping labels or how abouts a thing of stamps. Stamps are always fun

Or

Next time he comes around look down at his pants and ask "Is that big package for me?"

so possible......

hrmm, id get the guy a day off on a friday.

Damn, you are too dedicated to this place if you think about this forum while dropping a load. Hell, all I can think of while taking a dump is the moment I can get up and see what I have accomplished. But that's just me.

LOL! No.... All of my jobs have not been very... "intelectually challanging" so I have learned to multi-task.
