A bit of humor never hurts.

With the economy still hoovering way below normal, expensive awards in your workplace may be taking a backseat to other expenses. It's a tricky situation because promotions are down, employee motivation is threatening to disappear and rewards are out of the question.

Well, a little funny goes a long way when you find your company in a pinch. You can find some free funny awards to print out and host a comical awards session. Get the laughter flowing and lighten the load on hardworking employees. It'll alleviate some of the stress in the workplace and increase camaraderie.

For some other good gifts to get the giggles started check out The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Work, personalized "can coolies" with winning titles or a personal stress ball, and may I recommend the Brest Stress Ball (for the biggest office boob).
