Dancing Deer Baking Co. Known For Sweet Holiday Gifts Surveys American Employees On Corporate Gifting

BOSTON, Nov. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Along with cookie swaps, ugly sweaters, and wine-filled office parties, the holiday season usually brings a handful of business gift exchanges. Whether a surprise gift from a vendor or an office Secret Santa, corporate gifts don't always spread holiday cheer. According to a recent survey of full-time American employees conducted by gourmet baker Dancing Deer Baking Company, almost 40% of employees felt neutral or disappointed with the corporate holiday gifts they received last year.

Digging deeper, Dancing Deer uncovered a list of the worst holiday gifts employees have ever received from an employer, colleague, client, or vendor. Coming in at the top is the not-so-generous gift card or coupon trailing closely behind by the always-boring calendar. Other corporate gifting fails reported include: socks, ham, a company logo Christmas rug, a toy rat in a mousetrap, and a nail clipper set to name just a humorous few.
