The Santa of DrillSpot
While scrolling through the list of orders we have on any given day the products that sell can range from tool boxes to cooking supplies, but one thing we (as DrillSpot employees) love is watching which seasonal items sell. One of the Christmas decor staples over the last 3 years has been the Air Blown Sitting Santa.
We have sold hundreds of these inflatable Santas to anywhere from Florida to Saint Louis. Since this item ships from our warehouse in Denver, and our headquarters are in Boulder we have never seen this item in real life, but have all been wishing for a customer to return one. Finally after 3 years we had a customer send one back to us (all returns come back to our headquarters). It really was like Christmas in the office! Jennifer and I could not open the box and set up Santa fast enough (we have to check to make sure it is in working condition after all). After we plugged him in, we were amazed at how quiet the built in fan was, not much more sound than my space heater. As he sits in his big green chair, his constantly waves to everyone and even has built in songs and voice recordings. The recordings are sound activated so all you have to do is clap (or yell) and he starts laughing, saying “Ho, Ho, Ho” or playing Christmas music.
Since his unboxing, Santa has traveled all of the office in hopes of catching us at our worst (it hasn’t happened yet). He has sat in for Paul our CEO while Paul traveled through Spain:
Sat behind Leo to make sure he did not make any mistakes while programming:
He is even waiting patiently in Brandi’s office to help celebrate her birthday!
After traveling from one corner of our office to the other (including hiding in the bathrooms – that was a fun day) he has now found his spot right in front of the door, ready to greet anyone that comes to DrillSpot.
