A haunch of venison, a leg of wild boar and wild boar sausages. One of the directors of the company was a hunter.

A big wad of VIP tickets for the London Eye from BA (who were the sponsors at the time). I'd have preferred lifetime gold membership, but they don't like giving those to contractors...

Always getting stuff from clientco in the USA. So far this year, that I can recall:
- an original WWII lighter from US Air Force HQ when based in Frankfurt
- an original framed and signed Dilbert print for the home office wall
- a Marshall stack fridge for the home office
Last Christmas I received, among other things, a huge tin of sugared peanuts from a Virigina farm which I'm still getting through and a Christmas tree ornament from the White House of the President's helicopter (I tend to get quite a few things from there, I think one of the bosses daughters works there.)

The three boxes that arrived last night were definitely not usual.
Its usually a bottle of something good or occasionally an invite to an event such as Wimbledon, Henley or Ascot.
Many moons ago (20 years) when on contract to an oil firm that have petrol stations I got a pile of car wash vouchers at Christmas!
