    Last gift I received was an agency mug. They changed their name shortly after. So they were just dumping their old marketing junk on their contractors.

    The name came off in the dishwasher.

    I got a ball-point pen with the agency logo, and one of those A2 desktop pads with the logo once again taking up a lot of space. It also has a 2010 calendar with the dates for invoicing each week so as to be paid the following Friday helpfully ringed in red. As my contract ends at New Year, this is unlikely to be of any great use to me

    I know what it is and it's not bad at all, but I'm happy with what I get.

    I have to say though, the client offered a rate rise earlier this year and the agent gave me the lot.

    A would buy you a box of chocolates if you earned me more than the cost of a box of chocolates too. Send a cheque for £200 and a box will be yours by return

    It's called "bribery", regardless of how you want to dress it up.

    At least you're cheap.
