OC Tanner Corp - Who are they, and why did they send a package to us while we were on vacation?

[Wedesdo]

I received a total of 6 different UPS/FedEx "Delivery Attempt" notes... I had contacted all of the senders of the packages except for one. Although I was origionally going to investigate the package today during business hours, I had a nightmare that the package was a bomb...

Therefore, I couldn't sleep anymore, and got up and talked to FedEx. They told me that it was sent from a OC Tanner Corp. in SLC, Utah. I went to their website, and found that they're a "Recognition Company" - What the heck is an Recognition Company, and why would they send me a package? I never heard of them before...

Does anyone have any prior experiences with this company? I would like some data when I call them later today.

Umm they have a website... http://www.octanner.com/
This is from their about page:
O.C. Tanner?s exclusive retail store offers only the world?s finest jewelry and gifts. You?ll find brilliant diamonds second to none. A collection of fine time pieces unmatched anywhere. And exquisite crystal, china, and writing instruments for the most discriminating taste.

Either someone got you something, or they want you to buy stuff from them and are sending you samples. Could be something bad but doesn't seem like it.

I would be careful if your Fed-Ex guy wears a hooded sweatshirt and aviator sunglasses.

Does your employer give out little gifts for reaching 5, 10, 15, etc. years of service? It could be one of those.
