CLICKY POLL: Help me pick my 5yr work anniversary gift

I can't decide!  I've narrowed it down to a couple choices and DH says to pick whatever I think I'd use the most but I'm pretty sure I'd use them both pretty infrequently...

[Poll]

Re: CLICKY POLL: Help me pick my 5yr work anniversary gift

  • I picked the D&B wristlet because... it's a wristlet and I see that getting more use than a bowl. You could use it on date nights or something, since it's an ani gift!
  • Is this your dating anniversary?

    Pick what you would have more use out of...or have DH pick and then you will be surprised :) 

  • Oh whoops!  Sorry this is my work anniversary! :)  Edited post to clarify.

    And FWIW we're going on our 7yr dating anniversary and 2nd yr married anniversary in a few mths.  For that we've been doing big vacations...it's our anni gifts to each other and bday!  The only way we can justify the cost :D

    DANG!!!  Your DH is buying you a gift for your 5 yr working anniv?!  I wish my DH would have done that when I worked 12+ hour days workin my butt off!  You are one lucky girl :)


  • Ok... I chose the wristlet because I personally would use it more often, especially when traveling. But... I didn't help you at all because with my vote it's 50 / 50 HA

  • If you don't think you'll really use either one very often, could you get something else?
  • I picked the footed bowl b/c you cook a lot and it seems like it would be a fun thing to put peppers and apples in while they wait to find their purpose in your recipes.

    Also because I want one, and if you decide you don't like it, you can give it to me. :)

  • I picked the bowl because it seems like it's "life" would be longer than the wristlette.  I would especially go this route if you are sentimental and want a reminder.  BTW- nice gifts from work!

    Gift from my company!  DH will give me a "good job honey" or something like that lol!

  • I have to say that I'm SOOOO jealous.  I have been working for my company for 10 years (well, as of this coming Sunday it will be) and I have never even so much as gotten taken to lunch for my years here.  I think its great that your company does that.  That's truly awesome.  I would be so excited to take any of them.

  • Which one is more expensive? I'd get that one from work.... and then, buy the other one for yourself for a job well done!    Smile

    Obviously that's the practical way to do it - you don't have to choose!

  • I voted for the bowl but honestly neither are my style.  Now if they had the option for a full sized purse I'd take that!  Maybe I just put too much junk in my purse!

  • I voted for the bowl, partly because I don't like D&B (any company that makes be be a walking advertisement with their logo that prominent turns me off)

    DH got a Tiffany crystal bowl from a previous company for a 5-yr gift, and it's still on our coffee table. And I'll hit 5 yrs here next month (my longest job ever!), and I know they give gifts...I don't think we get input, though.
