Best/Worst Christmas gifts from employer

I would say my company gifts a moderately decent gift each Christmas.
I am always surprised of stories/gifts I hear that legitimately shock me from terrible to amazing. What are you guys getting as a Christmas gift from your employer?

i just this second received a $3,300 Christmas bonus from my job. I have been here 25 years and never got anything more than a ham or 100.00 gift card.
Now, how to hide from the wife!!??

Continued employment. That's all I get.

Upstream oilfield volatility led to a wild disparity in Christmas bonuses/gifts

When I worked for corporations, we got a Christmas party. No gifts, unless the employees decided to do something for each other.
Now that I work for a small business, the boss gives us gifts every year. Last year I got a Springfield Armory Hellcat 9mm
The year before I got an AR15.

Got a bonus and a brand new pair of Bose headphones because I complained about screaming kids on a flight once.
Haven't even been there a full year.

In trucking your Christmas gift was your dispatcher getting you home in time to celebrate the holiday

My gift to myself every year is the time I take off for the holidays and the vacations I take in January and February.

We had a gift exchange for work. At bosses house. Person who had my name shows up at door with a plant which was my gift. Boss thought it was a house warming present and took it for herself. Later on in the evening she realized I didn't have a gift and went upstairs and wrapped a used body pillow and gave it to me

We usually get gift cards from our direct managers. Not sure I really want the company to try to do more than that.
Unless they plop $3K in my checking like the poster above got.

My former employer gave everyone a "free" PTO day.

Jealous, I've never had an employer gift me guns and ammo as a Xmas bonus!

Best was when I was in construction and building a big building in Houston for an oil company. Got a $6K bonus from my company. But at the Christmas party the oil company gave some of us checks too. I got another $5K from them by surprise. It was a banner year.
