I would much rather get a gift card than any of the other things? This is a large step up from a glass bowl (which looks to be worth about $15 so it doesn't seem like they've stepped down in terms of pricing here).
Please quite encouraging Peyser to come out as a lesbian.
I cannot speak for all lesbians, but I am pretty sure they don't appreciate commenters trying to foist this dried up harridan onto them.
My boss cut everyone's pay by 4% last month and Christmas presents just arrived this morning: a Starbucks card for $5 and a note saying "Thanks a latte!" I'm giving mine to the first homeless person I see on the street.
In 1990, Prudential Securities got rid of the dental plan, then gave us sugary toffee brittle as a Christmas gift. More than one wag in the law department stuffed the "candy" in an interoffice envelope, smashed it up with their shoe, and sent it anonymously to the CEO. His assistant went wild after opening up about 20 of these and circulated a curt memo. This produced more toffee in the mail basket. Good times!
@bytememehard: The non-sarcastic answer is 2 days of lunch (possibly three, depending on how much you eat), which is not a bad gift. There are days, hungover days, where I'd kill a man for 2 free lunches. Their cafeteria is nice! Not, like, Google nice, but nice!
Plus, you KNOW Peyser was humming this when she was typing her bile-laced screed:
There is nothin' like a dame,
Nothin' in the world,
There is nothin' you can name
That is anythin' like a dame!
Nothin' else was built the same,
Nothin' in the world
As the soft and wavy frame
Like the silhouette of a dame!
There is absolutely nothin' like a frame of a dame.
So suppose that dame and bride
Are completely free from flaws,
Or as faithful as a bird dog,
Or as kind as Santa Claus,
It's a waste of time to worry
Over things that they have not,
We're thankful for the things they got!
There is nothin' you can name
That is anythin' like a dame!
There are no books like a dame,
And nothin' looks like a dame.
There are no drinks like a dame,
And nothin' thinks like a dame,
Nothin' acts like a dame,
Or attracts like a dame.
There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here
That can't be cured by pullin' him near
A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame!
I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain.
And my snatch I'd be scratchin' while my ova they were hatchin'
If I only was a dame.
oh come on Gawker at least they're not tossing around money frivolously in light of cutbacks, firings, and getting rid of magazines. yeah, its a shitty gift, but at least its appropriate. you would have skewered them too if the staffers actually received something nice.

Although yeah, it DOES remind me of the year every one of my friends got an iPod from their boss and I got slipper socks from mine.
