The boss liked to give out fun things to our regular clients for Christmas. The first year he had me paint almost 5 dozen little ceramic pigs. That was inspired by all the huge themed pig statues that were all over Seattle in 2001.

In 2002 he wanted to give out toys. In particular a sort of sling shot. My job was to create a fun little instruction manual. Unfortunately we left planning and purchasing the toys to the last minute and had to abandon that plan. I don’t remember what we gave out instead.
