Most Hated Diwali Gifts: Diwali has come at the workplace- and what can we expect? It’s time for the much awaited ‘Corporate Gift Reveal’. Employees earnestly look forward to something exciting but what lands on their desk are items that are entirely uninspired, recycled and downright tragic – all screaming “We cut costs” here. And so, here we go, with the greatest list of hated Diwali office gifts – thus putting even Soan Papdi in the luxury gift segment.
Because nothing quite says “Happy Diwali” like a calculator, scissors, and a mouse pad. A true celebration of productivity-missing joy.
Wrapped beautifully and holding nothing. Perfect at holding down papers, and along with them, dreams of a better bonus.
A Diwali essential no one wanted. For message writing like “update resume” or “burn this gift after appraisal.”
Ah yes, the corporate identity – plus, caffeine-dependent. Nothing warms your heart more than drinking burnout stuff from branded ceramic.
When management thinks your festival present should help dinner serve for you rather than a pay rise. At least disappointment remains intact-all-in-all.
A truly very sad office lunch ‘energy’ symbolised as a festive treat. A bonus point if slightly soggy upon delivery.
Lighting the way to yet another year of budget cuts.
Recycled gift symbols to perfect. The real celebration is passing on to someone else.
Bonus: Cash envelope (Savior)
The gift that is most loved by all-a bare necessity without frills and pure honesty.
Corporate Diwali gifting certainly doesn’t have to be tragically confined but thoughtful gestures or a personal touch really goes miles on such an avenue. Until then, let us raise our logo mugs and toast to yet another year of stationery and Soan Papdi!
