So paying a visit to a company that we deal with, office full of young women working in PR, what kind of ‘token gesture’ do you arrive with to thank them for their continued efforts? 😐

Any suggestion or previous experience’s welcome, expect some good advice here, don’t let me down 🙂

big tin of celebrations

work in PR!!

I’d just buy myself some ear defenders!

oooh risky!

chocolate works everytime. I work in a department which is predominantly women.
some of those chocolate miniatures are good.
roses/ quality street if their average age is 80.

Just pay my travel costs and I’ll be there, you’re welcome

Diet Coke break?

A skip of kittens

Food definately. Chocolates, cookies or similar.

Spanish Fly FTW

Chocolate. 60% of the time, it works every time.

trend in my office seems to be cup cakes rather than chocolate. but don’t think chocolates would be refused.

in our office where half the department is women under 30, when anyone comes back from a business trip or holiday abroad, which is practically every other day, they are obliged to bring back a ‘treat’.
things that go down well are chocolate miniatures, boxes of posh chocolates, sweeties, lollipops and surprisingly, cheese.
things that don’t go down well are liquorice, dates, meat, seaweed crackers (!), chocolate liqueurs and those hyper-sweet sweets you get from the Indian sub-continent.

Your phone number?

Me.

Just as a point of clarification, when you say it’s an office FULL of women does this mean that there’ll not be enough space for you unless you push your way into the room through a crush of ladyness and displacing 1 (or possibly more) of them to outside the room in order to allow you in?

cakes/chocolate
hummingbird bakery nearby?

Nothing says “we appreciate your efforts” more than a tabard.

Cookies or CAKE….nom nom nom! I’m sure chcolates wouldn’t be refused!
Or even better give them a half day .. send them all home early! ALWAYS a winner….

tequila

Nice chocolates (ie, better than Thorntons). PR girls tend to be pretty slim IME so they probably won’t want a massive family tin of Celebrations…

vibrators or tampax depending on what week.

sorry to rain on everybody’s parade but…

let me get this straight

1) there’s a PR company;
2) your company pays the PR company to do PR stuff

<deep pockets, short arms>
why on earth do you need to give the PR company’s employees chocolate/cake/something else? Isn’t the fact that they’re getting paid for an honest day’s work enough?

something’s telling me timc has a penis. Next.

@higgo – Starflower oil is much better 😉

j_d, I believe the OP is hoping to shag one, some or all of them

Failing that, go for Houns, naked apart from a ribbon round his nob and lots of nutella – always works for me

One!

Cup cakes & champagne

They are like cat nip for PR types

1) there’s a PR company;

I fear you’re missing the point.
a) timc- BMW driving music industry executive on a mission.
b) Office full of PR totty.
Chocolates should do the trick and don’t forget your best shiney suit. 😉

If you have any decent regional delicacies that you’re able to take in then perhaps that may be a good idea, depending on where you are of course!

For us I’m a Melton Mowbray lad and Stilton always goes down well! 🙂

Lindt chocolate bunnies, bought in boxes of 60.
The young ladies will eat them, the older ladies will take them for their kids.
Don’t forget to leave your business card with your private number!

What to buy? An office-full of women?

or even

What to buy: An office, full of women!

Last time I had cause to bring food into the office, I brought two dozen Krispy Kreme donuts.

I wasn’t sure how well they’d be received with diets and all. They were gone inside of ten minutes.
