Have you ever wondered what will be the best gift to give during this season?
This has been the struggle that I had when our team announced that we will have a mini Christmas party on the 11th of December.
The following are criteria:
If any of the criteria isn't followed the violator will be paying a fine which is equivalent to the most expensive gift given.
I searched the local online shops shopee and Lazada [https://www.lazada.com.ph/] for a suitable gift that can somehow be appreciated by anyone. We will only know who's the lucky person that will be accepting the gift on the same day so I cannot buy something that will not be used. Probably an item that I know that can be common with everyone was my cue.
My lead mentioned that a good gift can be equipment that can be used during work, like a backrest, a mousepad, or an ergonomic mouse.
They are nice gift ideas and if I will receive such gifts this will be much appreciated as I find them useful. But since it was stated by my lead that she's suggesting such gift for sure one or two may follow her advice thus I decided not to buy them.
So what is the other stuff that we enjoy before? Then I recall that the team loves to set our meetings in Starbucks and coffee has been part of our conversations back then when we are in the office. At times, when we are overloaded with work we always use the term "tara kape muna tayo" ( let's grab some coffee before we face this overwhelming work.)
And because of that, I decided to buy a coffee manual coffee grinder and a coffee pot.
I believe that this will be helpful to anyone from the team as they can enjoy brewing their own coffee. Since we are all working in our homes and the smell of freshly brewed coffee is something that the majority of call center agents love.
So yeah, I hit the 3 criteria and safe with the penalty as I exceed the minimum amount not including the shipping fee.
