If you can hook me up with some links customers are US based

I don't have links, i receive gifts from suppliers I don't send them anything in return. Stuff like what Juvejay posted is 90% of it

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

These kind of things are pretty common here: https://www.hampers.co.uk/corporate-christmas-hampers.html

Seems those are UK based only. I'll have that in mind. I can't recall if we have somebody in the UK

Was just an idea in general, I'm sure you can buy versions in most countries.

my sub contractors send anything from cards, to a whole Turkey, and Jazz or hockey tickets

Went to a museum today. Americans might not recognise this, we call it history and culture, its a European thing

Just one of many examples where we have retained a particular French/Anglo-Norman version.

Calling it a "basket" here would be too non-descriptive. "Gift basket" works the same but I suspect the Victorians are to blame for "hamper" being used in the modern day.

It sounds so un-serious at all times. How are you going to tell me "put the sixpence in the Christmas pudding on sir-up Sunday" is a real sentence that means something? The fuck is a "twelfth cake?"

"Hamper" always referred to the basket that dirty clothes go into in my household.

I'm not necessarily fascinated by it. Actually never heard of it. But this is very much up my alley to be honest. Natural patterns of systemic attractors that operate at scale that you'd never notice at the micro-level of reductionism: can't see the forest for the trees.

I'm all about the forest these days. F**k trees.

So like the 19 eskimo words for snow, the British have 19 words for variations of baskets. Tells you a lot about a culture right there.

Imagine someone starting a sentence with "I was sat at a restaurant..." So damn confusing when the tenses get fucked.

 

[JuveJay]

You guys been watching the original Mary Poppins with Dick van Dyke again. No one here says those things or knows what a Twelfth Night cake is.

But then the modern generation can't speak properly or use correct grammar, and are heavily influenced by American media and less so by lots of other minority cultures, so nothing would surprise me.

Now that’s just poppycock

 

[IliveForJuve]

Then Americans say shit like "horseback riding". Not sure where else on a horse you'd ride.

Tuna fish... as opposed to the other type of tuna.

"Rest room". Bruv, I'm fighting for my life in there.
