A Christmas card.

Of which has the standard "business like" message that always states : "Happy Holidays from ______ and wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year"

I order gift baskets off a website and just enter all the addresses I want them shipped too, you can add a personalized card with each. Usually send a dozen out

When the oilfield wasn't slow we would bring all our customers stuffed turkeys from Heberts in Maurice. The last couple years we couldn't even get them chickens.

I work for a large company, and we got a lot of pears this year. Strange.

Just be careful and use some common sense. If you are dealing with government employers they have strict rules, especially if you want to get stuff for purchasing guys.

In the private sector with big companies, gift cards are generally a no no.
Taking key people to lunch or dinner or dropping off food is a better option.

RTIC cups with our company logo etched for our top customers - cookies, calendars, and pocket flashlights to everyone. Everything has our company logo on them... The pocket flashlights are usually the most popular.

I like that, I'll have to set a reminder to order a bunch of company paraphernalia next November.

For the past few years I've given boxes of frozen roasted green chiles, 5lb, hot or mild.

Those chili heat ratings are always a crapshoot

I just today finished doling out 100lbs of Best Stop/ Billy's Boudin and 10lbs of Bergeron's Beef Jerky. I've done this 5 years straight and I'm told people come in to work even if they're off if they hear I'm visiting right before Christmas. My family lives in NOLA so I take 90 back to 10 and load up on my back from Thanksgiving. I freeze it in their packs of two links and vacuum pack the jerky in company sized packs.

This probably wouldn't be so popular in S. LA but Bergeron's Jerky is a hit everywhere even though it'ss not my favorite.
