Feeling ambitious? From a golden
handshake to a gym membership,
here's what to give at the office
this holiday season
by Amanda Ross
3. Forget "because I'm
good enough, I'm smart enough, and,
doggone it, people like me"–these
Expression pouches streamline daily
affirmations faster and more efficiently: Like
a Boss; I Can and Will; and World Domination.
$16, $18 and $20, indigo.ca
1. For the co-worker with never enough time to pack a healthy
lunch, curry "flavour" with Vancouver-based Gift-a-Green:
these locally made holiday greeting cards double as edible
miniature microgreens. $9.95, giftagreen.com
2. The early bird may catch the worm, but
the Revive rollerball by Aromatherapy
& Associates instantly revives, refreshes
and invigorates with its own 100 per cent
natural blend of grapefruit, rosemary and
juniper berry. Tell your cubby mate to roll on
pulse points and breathe deeply for their
own early morning pick-me-up. $41.50,
aromatherapyandassociates.com
4. Designed by local architect James Cheng, the swish new
Owner's Suite Collection at the Fairmont Pacific Rim rocks
the ultimate music experience for the boss: one night's stay in
a suite room with a curated collection of vinyl records and turn-
table;
VIP Live Nation concert (with VIP return car transfer); and
gold lounge access with private check-in and concierge. Think of
this as a collective ass-kissing from the entire office. From $3,200,
fairmont.com
5. The front lines are best helmed
by someone with a happy smile and
cheerful phone manner, so make the
call to offer up this stainless-steel,
Kate Spade Sunny Disposition
Tea travel tumbler to the
receptionist. $40, thebay.com
