My 15th anniversary with this company is around the end of the month. We get our choice of a list of gifts every five years. For ten years, I got a nice Coach briefcase which I still use. Nothing grabbed me this time 'round, though; so I ordered a set of (cultured) pearls that arrived today. The wife will wear them at SCA events and can keep the really expensive set at home.
I took a bit of teasing at work, but it subsided when I pointed out that scoring domestic tranquility points is totally worth it.

Date: 2006-10-09 08:03 pm (UTC)we used to do the catelog gifty thing too...much covetted were the commerative gas grill or the commemorative weed whacker or power drill set. I ended up with a boom box one year and a digital camera another year.
I think they switched to a freebie day off and "we'll donate $250 in your name to a charity" which is kinda cool too!
