I started my new job in October 2009. My new boss sent me a change purse as a holiday gift a few months later, by overnight courier from San Francisco. I was very touched by the gesture. I kept the purse and started to use it, even though I'd not had need for one before.
From the card, which I kept:
We're so glad that you're here! I know it has been a big change, and that there's a lot of change here all the time. I thought I should send you a little something you can use to keep all that change in. :)
