Hi Jenny. Really excited to see how this blog turns out - it's looking great.
Are these presents you got from actual people at work, or from the company as a whole? And are you expected to reciprocate with equally odd gifts?
Weirdly, enough they are from the company. I assume. So far they have just appeared on my desk on each of the aforementioned holidays, without explanation. Apart from the shampoo - I was asked to select that from a range of other odd-smelling shower-based products. Not sure about the reciprocation part, although I have brought at least four boxes of Scottish shortbread in since I started last October.
