Default Good Freebie Idea for Those Working in Small Offices

If like me you happen to work in a small office, you may be the onen to order various office supplies.

i noticed that staples has various giveaways when you order a certain dollar amount of supplies, so when i see one of those offers in their mailings, i 'stock up' on the supplies, like copy paper or toner cartridges, and keep the freebie!

Yesterday I ordered $250 worth of stuff and today got a picnic blanket and backpack cooler.

Quill does the same thing! We always end up getting something free with every office supply order. We get things like cookies, movies, bath and body works gift baskets, radios, and other various gift sets.

Cool. Sad to say I keep the office needs to a minimum. No big orders for me.

My boss got really offender when one of the girls in the office kept all the freebies for herself. Including things like $10-$20 off entire purchase coupons. There was more to it than that, but just make sure the higher ups are alright with that first.

About the rewards, my company is really small and the cookies we all share. And the bosses are cool with it. Actually some of the stuff gets saved and we end up getting it for Administrative Professionals day! Hehe. They actually are nice gift sets, picture frames, clocks, etc.
