Interested to know what the turnover is for some of these bigger gifts from some companies!
£200-500 in vouchers for example!

£300 this year.
It's not a lot for those on higher salaries, but it's a pretty sweet bonus for the guys on entry-level rates.
My employer (280K people) is under a worldwide hiring freeze, so my Christmas bonus is to continue to be an employee, which feels like a gift right now, given the wider macroeconomic climate and company finance belt tightening.

Never get anything, not even a card.
My previous employer gave everyone a frozen chicken.....they were a builders merchant
Still, a frozen chickens better than nothing I guess.

I've never understood how our Christmas bonuses work. Sometimes I get one, sometimes I don't. There's no individual 'grading', I think it's just more on how the company has done. We get a fantastic company Christmas party (c 1200 people), a great team party too (35 odd) on a different night. And then we're fortunate enough to be invited to 5/6 parties by our vendors/suppliers which are usually fairly decent. They're actually all kicking off next week, one at the Shard, one at Claridges for example which hopefully will be nice! There's always a few hampers kicking around for the execs who inevitably divvy them out to us all.
A very generous employer. Who are you working for?

My dad once had a Norfolk Black turkey along with 15 bottles of wine, Baileys and sherry.
Insists we have a Norfolk Black crown each year. Costing me about £55!
So much more flavour in them

I had a boss who always like to get his budget in order around now. He would always fire people in late November.
Exciting, were you headhunted from Elon?

A few years ago, we had our Christmas party on my birthday in Jan. Colleagues know my birthday now and give me wine and gin.
