Most Memorable Corporate Gift

Long gone the time when you want to a personalize gifts, you have to crack your head, look through yellow pages and meet up with the sales person to choose what you want. With internet now, everything has become so easy and efficient. It's amazing.

You are so spoilt for choices that you can choose what kind of categories you are interested in. To name a few:
- Apparels
- Bags and Totes
- Calendars
- Drinkware
- Pen and Writing
- Tradeshows and Events
- Keychains
- Sports
- Etc

Now, there are even companies who dare to claim that they are the lowest price with satisfaction guaranteed. They do all kind of custom notepads, I don't even know there's such term as top note pads. Geez. Then again, you can always use a very "green" type of notepad on your mobile phone or iPad.

Speaking of corporate gift. What was one of your best or most creative experience you have ever received from an event or a company? I am scratching my head now to think. And looking around me, I realize, not many of the corporate gifts are being utilized by me. Not even a mug!

But recently I went to an event called - Hubalicious Food Adventures with Dan Segall. It's a live cooking and eating event with celebrity chef Dan Segall, organized by Starhub Cable TV / Food Network Asia and Beringer Wine. You can view some of the photos from this event here. At the end of the night, each of us has a goodie bag. That was a nice surprised. We get a set of black and white kitchen wares such as salt and pepper, oil and vinegar set in black and transparent colour. That was awesome. By far it's one of the nicely presented gift ever. Though I have no use of them now, but I will sure remember them :)

Wonder what kind of corporate gift do leave an impact with all of you? Hmm ...

(Sorry for the bad quality photo. It's taken with my Blackberry. One of the lousiest phone camera ever.)

I've long had this view that, if we'd all just stop giving out corporate gifts and gimmicks already, the world would be a much better place. :)

I can't remember a single corporate gift that I'm impressed with. I work in a place that gives out such gimmicks all the time - mousepads, usb keys, fans, pens, note pads, cushions, memory card readers, travel adaptor etc.

We are basically giving people things they most likely already have. Plus, these gimmicks don't really work that well anyways, coz they were made and bought cheap.

Sorry for being sour. Unless I see something very impressive, I think they are a waste of resources and most of them will just end up in landfills...
