Family Business Appreciator Gifts

A Mom and Pop Operation

'Well, now that I know he's the owner's son, yes, he's the best damned wine steward I've ever seen.'

'Shhhh. Fido inherited seventy percent of this company.'

'Okay, Mom. I'm sorry I re-gifted one of the kidneys you gave me.'

celebrating a birth.

"And this is my junior partner, my son, Ira."

'In the interest of spending more time with my children, I've put Bobby and Emily in charge of corporate strategy.'

'Don't worry, Dad. I'm going to turn this company around 360 degrees!'

"We've doubled our staff in the last six months." (Smith and Smith - baby in playpen behind desk).

"Dad, will you play judge and tell me if Raymond or Joey is the father of my baby doll?"

"Think nothing of it, Llewellyn. In every large organisation there are leeks."

'Someday, son...all this will be Mine.'

"Hmmm...impressive CV! Y'know, I have a feeling that you'll go far in this company...."

"Mom...There's nothing to do..."

The last of the Mom and Pop brokerage houses

'Someday, Son, this will all be your problem.'

'I handed over my company to my son and he's doing better than I ever did. Unfortunately he's starting school next year...'

'I've been disrespectful again, Dad.'

'I already had one bath today! You want my skin to wear out?'

"Clean your specs, lady?"

'My son decided to join the firm. You have six months to shape him into executive timber.'

"This is a family operation, Ben, and we're evicting you from our family."

'It's a terrific family business: We have about 53 staff-members...'

'There's no need for you to state your opinion, son. Just lipsynching mine will do fine.'

Mom's The Boss

"So what makes you think you're the right person for this post?" "Well, I'm highly motivated, outgoing and independently minded. Isn't that right, Dad?"

'Remember, Junior, in business, you're nobody until somebody loathes you.'

"Grandpa, if I ever decide to get involved in farming, it will be strictly as a commodities broker."

'Oh, I plow the fields, Greta takes care of the house, and young Johan, here, maintains the website.'

"A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into making this company what it is today! My father worked hard for what I've got."

"I'm sorry, Dad. What I did was really stupid, selfish and wrong."

'Kendrick! How many times has our CEO asked us to refer to him as Pa?'

'Look what my son gave me!'

'Nowadays kiddo, we just need to herd the sheep, but my grandfather had to protect them from wolves!'
