    Reminds me of getting a note from HR admonishing me to pick out my 20th work anniversary “gift” from “pages 12 to 16” of the supplied catalogue. I knew nothing of it. They concluded with “or we’ll choose for you, i.e. a clock”. I got luggage tags. For 20 years of my life. The best years of my life. Luggage tags. FML.

          My last place regularly gave stuff away, but they reported the monetary value as a bonus. I got a drill I didn’t want and more taxes…

        There will be a $20 gift fee and an additional service and shipping fee. How much would you like to tip? 12, 16 or 20%?

      I got a digital camera that only took blurry pictures. This was Merrill Lynch in the 2000’s.
