Ever since I became a stay-at-home mom, I’ve always had a non-working Valentine. Non-working in a sense that I didn’t have to go to work because I wasn’t working, and because we didn’t have the usual Valentine because hubby always had to work. But it’s all good because we’d always say that everyday is Valentine’s day.
But what I miss the most are the events we used to have at work during these “occasions”. Aside from the usual roses of course for random employees and the games and short programs that we prepare, it’s the special things that the company gives out that gets us most excited. We always try to guess what new “thing” they will be giving out every year.
There were gift certificates for overnight stays at hotels, or tickets to a Valentine concert or show, or even gift certificates for dinner dates at posh restaurants. What I won’t forget though was when we were in charge of the surprise “thing” and we were looking for suppliers for Personalised Corporate Chocolates. It would have been a big hit if we found one on time but unfortunately we couldn’t have it going before Valentine’s.
But since we now have the contact person for such, I wonder if they finally got to use Corporate Chocolates recently? Maybe I should ask my former office mates to see if they did, and how they liked it. I’m sure it was a hit!
