If you really want to thank your agents for their work, a simple ‘thank you’ email goes a long way. I don’t feel that anyone needs to worry about holiday gifts this year. I mean, I like gifts, but no one should ever feel obligated. It’s been a tough year for everyone so I completely understand if clients aren’t in a position to do anything I’m happy about getting gifts but I would rather they just send money.

And perhaps you have convinced yourself that your delivery of overpriced wine will be the thing that gets you auditions next year. Typically your reps would be swimming in cookies, candy, and bottles of booze they didn’t ask for right about now. I have also gotten fantastic gifts for my people on different occasions, though I have to say the holidays are my least favorite time to give them. Mostly because I read this mildly offensive article in 2012 and thought it was gospel.
