Hated Aruba 😑

Beach smelled bad. Food was mediocre. Been to better Caribbean destinations.

i’m obsessed with turks. i think about it every… single… day

Turks for sure. Aruba is nice but constant winds can get annoying.

We did Aruba. Stayed local side of island and enjoyed it. Definitely more low key kinda vibe.

I’m on the my way to Aruba right now!!

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?
