What I would really like to do is to have monthly donuts/muffins/pastries people can grab as they want accompanied by an email noting the events we know about, rather than an "event", but I am not sure that will fly.
We do that here and the people whose bday it is that month pick the food they want. So, sometimes it's a morning thing with bagels, or lunch with pizza. One favorite is to do a salad bar where everyone brings two or so items off a list that circulates. Very tasty and a lot more healthy.
And then there's a dancing hamster thing, but that's a whole 'nother story.

I, for one, would love that. I hate celebrating my birthday at work.

One of my favorite workplace shenanigans involved a Kung Fu Hamster, a ransom note, and demand for payment in pennies for the hamster's safe return.
Has any buffista given a loan through Kiva?
I gave Kiva gift certs to my family for Christmas. A couple of them have made loans already and said it was very easy.
Has any buffista given a loan through Kiva?
yes, I have and I got a GC for Christmas that I need to use also.
Has any buffista given a loan through Kiva?
Yes, both the DH and I have done so.
I'm in the antisocial club. Er, well, you know what I mean. The creepy peer pressure involved in workplace parties tends to push my Hulk smash button. So I usually hide in my office until they're over.
If I'm close enough with someone that I genuinely want to celebrate their birthday/spawning/whatever, I'm already intending to do that outside the office. And if I don't... why spend the energy pretending to care? Doing my actual job is less draining than making small talk with people I don't give a damn about.
I love the concept of Kiva. That might be my next year's christmas gifts!
