Talking about random gifts through the post....

I received a Christmas present from one of our software companies - a Rotary Phone Charger!!

Basically its a windy up phone charger with lots of different types of mobile charger bits and you wind it by hand in case you need to make an emergency call are no where near a power supply to charge - 3 mins of winding by hand gives you 2-8 mins of talk time......

I looked at it and thought WTF !! but then so many people have borrowed it and thinks its a great random gift 8)

Do you think it would have the same effect if they sent me a roll of bog paper?

Marketers will have to keep on upping the game and giving progressively worse and weirder gifts to customers...

(it sounds like a game I'd actually quite like to play!)
