So I'm looking for ideas on what to do for the guys for Christmas.

The budget is quite limited.

Thoughts?

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

I got a Carhartt Jacket with the company logo and a gift card to Wegmans.   [thumbsup]

The office got a Verismo coffee maker and our own microwave.

Hard to say without having an idea of the budget.

How about a happy hour party? Do you have a friendly local place?

You buy the apps and one drink, and they buy their own drinks after that. That should relieve you of any liability.

They can bring their wives/girlfriends.

You should be able to do that for well under $400 if you don't count you and r00tchick in the total.

I know when I worked for other people the fact they cared to do anything was enough for me.

This.

The Carhartt with your logo/co. name is a good idea, too, free advertising.

Free advertising is often not a good thing. We all see the company truck when it's parked outside the strip club.

Happy hour and free food works.

Well, the plan is I'm taking everyone to lunch on Thursday (one of the guys is having out patient surgery Friday or we'd have done it then), I'm giving them all $100 and having them work a half day friday and paying them for all day.

I'm guessing the pt guy handles all of the complimentary massages for the crew?

I just scored a killer deal on a 12-13" Starrett digital micrometer with the case and the setting standard on ebay for 63% off list

That's badass

:D
