I work part time for a small insurance agency near my home, and last night the Agent took the four of us out for dinner and gave us each a holiday present.
Well, I got this shirt sized box and thought, scarf, mittens, hat, etc. Boy was I wrong. I opened it and I couldn't believe what was inside:
3 technique books on rubber stamping and paper crafting
3 one pound scrap packs
3 pkgs asst. notecards and envies (1 white, 1 ivory, 1 vellum)
Asst loose papers including patterned/colored vellums, mulberry papers, handmade papers (the kind with leaves and flower petals in it)
$25 gift card to local scrap/stamp store
AND...
$100 American Express gift check to purchase whatever I want from SU!!
I about fell off my chair. I was so overwhelmed that I started to cry. I mean, I have worked here a long time, but I only work about 20 hours a week and to get such a present. My DH isn't even that generous or thoughtful.
After I got home I was up for hours just looking through the catty to decide what I wanted to get with my gift. I am thinking of waiting until Sell-A-Bration and using my "stamping funds" with it to get all 6 sets.
Just had to share the thoughtfulness of this wonderful woman!!!
You do have a very thoughtful boss!! He obviously appreciates the work that you do and wants to keep you in his office! What a sweet thing for him to do! My husband always gave his office workers nice gifts, too, and still does even though he is retired. He says that he could not be retired without the help that they gave to him in the past years!!!!!!!
Wow!!! That's fantastic!!!! It's so nice to know that not only are you appreciated, but that they care enough to notice what hobby you enjoy! You are truly blessed!!
YOU are very obviously highly valued by your employer, evidenced not by the size of the gift, but the THOUGHT put behind the gift.
The generosity of the gift is remarkable, but I'm most touched by the attention to detail.
How absolutely FANTASMAGORICAL of your boss.
How wonderful to work in an environment where such a relationship exists that it's a pleasure to work in, and the boss knows he has the best working for him and appreciates them so genuinely.

That is fantastic Chillin. I started to cry just reading it... I am thrilled to hear that there are still great bosses and people out there. Congrats !
cool gift... I am so hoping that DH gets his bonus this year from his parents.... usually gets me a good $200-$300 worth of stamps. But with taking over the farm January 1st (I think he is still doing that, haven't signed any papers yet) not sure if he will be getting one or not yet :(
wonderful wonderful surprise!!! I am sure you are so valued by your boss & she totally had fun choosing out all those awesome gifts !
Your great news makes me SMILE - thanks for sharing
Merry Christmas

Holy smokes, that would be awesome! What a thoughtful person, I agree with JulieHRR ~ the attention to detail! Obviously your boss knows you love crafting.
Lucky lucky you!!

You do have a wonderful boss. Very thoughtful....I have a funny story along the boss line. I convinced my boss that his wife would be spending at least $150 during Sell-A-Bration, so why didn't he just give her SU gift certificates (that I make up and wrap, of course) and he would actually be saving himself some money. She would have spent the money anyways, and now she can do it without feeling guilty, because he gave her the certificates...... He thought it was a great idea and I made them tonight. Now he doesn't have to go shopping or wrap anything.....A win win for both of us. :lol:
Do I Have The Best Boss Or What?!?!?!?
