    Default Gifts for suppliers.

    I popped into a Natural Stone Retailers today with 6 bottles of wine, as a Christmas thank you for all the work they have put my way over the last 12 months. The owner and the staff couldn't believe it, as i was the only person that has done this. Best £30 i have probably spent for 2010 as i can see loads more work coming my way...

    Goes a long way mate

    My last customers before Christmas always get a bottle of Louis Rodier Champagne with a 'Enjoy your new home' letter left for when they get in.

    I've had a few bottles of left for me too over the years
