It does. Gift cards are great (amex).

Cocktail tools and shaker set, really nice journal, plenty of wine. Post houses/audio houses are the best. Though I always think “Hey maybe give me less free shit and stop with the cappuccinos and sushi and nonsense during sessions and I could afford to hire you more often"

I feel like I got pretty good vendor gifts this year. Sure, it's not the Beats headphones I got for a couple years running but it's also not the year people sent repackaged Bullit Bourbon, 2 buck chuck or like 30 inexplicable pears.
