Most Popular Holiday Gifts for Employees

Post date October 19, 2012

Bosses: are you looking for what type of corporate holiday gifts you should be handing out to your employees at the end of the year?

It can be tough to choose – many organizations have extremely strict limits on how much of monetary value an individual can receive as a gift. Web Watch knows of one company that gave each employee a $50 gift card last year… along with the appropriate paperwork so the proper taxable amount was reported to the IRS.

Yup, it was the classic “here’s a gift, and don’t forget to pay taxes on it” scam that’s all the rage these days.

How many people listen to the radio?

If you were to pay attention to technology pundits and the general news media, you would come away with the conclusion of, “well, practically nobody”. According to them, all those people who used to be radio listeners are bypassing that “old” technology for new offerings that the Internet has brought to bear, such as Pandora and Spotify. Cellphone playlists. Satellite radio, even, still makes a claim for being a popular alternative to traditional radio listening.

10 Toxic products you should avoid

Do you read product labels when you’re making household purchases? Web Watch does try to avoid buying food that contains high fructose corn syrup or has “sugar” listed on the label — but we’re a creature of habit, and Pop Tarts taste so darn good.

But we don’t really take the time to read all those other funky labels and warnings that seem to be applied to practically everything we get nowadays. Do we care that something was made in a plant that also processes “soy”, “nuts”, and “dairy products”? Eh. Not so much… but we know some folks who do care, so we’re not going to make fun of them for this.

Sometimes you just want somebody to tell you that you’re being one.

Sometimes you like to point it out in others.

Let’s face it – douchebags can be lots of fun — especially to those people who feel that they’re not being a douche at the time.

But while it may have been cool to even be aHipster Douchebag, maybe it’s time to hang up the duckface and move on to other things.

How much time have you spent contemplating your underwear?

Ladies – we all know that you have segregated your underwear drawer into “everyday”, “date night”, “special occasion”, and “laundry day” categories. There may be more, but women seldom like to be privvy to their private stash.

Men, on the other hand, have “everyday”, “laundry”, and “not quite laundry”.

Women buy more men’s underwear than men do

1 Comment on Women buy more men’s underwear than men do

We all know that the Modern Man doesn’t buy underwear.

At least, the Modern Man doesn’t buy any new underwear. They just stick with the briefs or boxers that their mom last bought for them as they headed off to college, and then proceed to wear them until the waistband separates from the cool cotton comfort.

No elastic? No problem!

There’s a reason why many rock stars on tour have “3-pack of underwear, assorted colors” on their concert rider. It’s easier to have a fresh pair handed to you by a complete stranger rather than ask them to do your traveling laundry while you’re on stage.

Name something you should have on your desk at work

Web Watch knows that not everyone has a standard “desk” job in an office.

You know – the one where you may be sitting in a cubical farm or an actual office (with a door), where you and your co-workers all get together to generate some sort of product for your company.

Some office managers frown upon personalizing one’s workspace, while companies like Pixar go out of their way to encourage as much creativity as possible (one Pixar employee build a speakeasy in the back of his cubicle area, complete with secret hidden entrance!).
