A classy tin of cookies, or more vendor loot

CDW sent me this classy tin of cookies for the holidays to thank us for being a customer. Let's see, over $100k in purchases and we get a $50 tin of cookies.

The office manager (to whom the bills are sent) thought that it should have had her name on it. My boss (who's name is on the account) thought that it should have been address to him. Not that it really mattered, as there were plenty to share; although they didn't make it through the day in the kitchen.
