Christmas presents from your job?

I realize some people get bonuses and things, but in the way of actual gifts, what have you recieved in the past or what did you get this year?

I got a Movado Eliro watch today.

The only "non-monetary" gifts I've gotten from my company around the holidays was last year they bought round-trip tickets for my wife (from LA to Chicago) plus they comp'd me 3-4 days of extra PTO to spend time with the family once we were there. Several thousand dollars when all added up for sure, but I would still have preferred money.... I'm sure they just wrote it all off as a business expense.

I got an "Elf" DVD one year.

This year is the opposite though...I'm not getting anything from work...I have to give. I'm getting manhandled into donating towards a gift card for one of my bosses. I'm only going to put in like $20 though...

I've had jobs where they would throw a Xmas lunch for the company, have raffle drawings and hand out gift cards to stores like Lucky's/Albertson's.
