Office gift from me

[javamomma]

Today I treated the office staff and our lunchroom staff to breakfast as their Christmas gift from me. THere are 10 ladies between both groups and I wanted to do something without spending a ton.
So I gave them the info on Monday to come hungry today and served:
Spinach Quiche, Bacon/cheddar Quiche, sausage muffins, and a pumpkin bread cake. To top it off I brought a carafe of blueberry cream coffee.
IT was a big hit and did not even cost me $2 a person. :)

That is very nice!

My boss paid to have a massage therapist to come into the office today. In about an hour, I get a free 20 minute massage :)

Those are both nice. My boss is taking both her departments out for breakfast (which is about the only time we can get everyone together). So we are meeting at 7 am at Cracker Barrel because we still have to be to work by about 8 or so *yawn*

What a great idea!! Our office staff is great in getting our breakfasts together for those early morning meetings.

That's an awesome idea!! I didn't do anything for our office staff as I ran out of time... will do something as a "random act of kindness" in the near future.

Our principal brought in a fruit basket for us and gave us a card with a holiday CD in it. (She ordered it from a catalog.)

I participated in a Secret Santa exchange for our staff and with my 5th grade colleagues. In our 5th grade pod, we "shook" for gifts. We told the kids we were playing YAHTZEE... hehehe!!

At my kids' school, the PTA sets up and pays for a teacher/staff appreciation breakfast twice a year. The teachers just love it and it makes them feel appreciated by the parents.

That was very nice of you. Sometimes the support staff get taken for-granted and overloked. What a great way to spread the holiday cheer.

What a neat idea!

I did something like that for a small school staff. It was lunch and it cost me a little more than $2.00 a person. But, it was worth the cost because these folks had been extraordinarily nice to me all year. They made me feel that I was part of the staff and I was only visiting the school once, maybe twice, a week and only visiting certain teachers.

By the way, I never heard of blueberry cream coffee. Sounds like something I would like to try. :rolleyes:

On the last day of semester examinations, I made breakfast for all 35 staff members. As a culinary arts instructor, I have access to a full commercial kitchen. Breakfast included egg dishes that had been pre-ordered the day before. Choices included a cheese omelet, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, or a breakfast burro (egg, bacon, potatoes, and cheese). I served the eggs with a grilled sausage patty or 2 slices of bacon, home fried potatoes, and freshly baked whole wheat bread.

I baked Swiss Yule cakes for the office staff. I also gave a tray of layered jello to our five most frequent faculty customers. The jello was made with tropical fruit in strawberry jello covered with crushed pineapple, sliced banana, and pistachio pudding topped with non-dairy whipped cream.
