I just saw the first spotting of the the 2007 google christmas gift and they say it is a "2 GB USB Memory card" http://www.labnol.org/internet/favorites/picture-of-google-adsense-gift-2007/1886/ they also say it was stolen in the mail but the blog is usually a reliable source of info. Did you get a 2007 google christmas gift yet? Is it a 2gb usb card?
I'm sure it depends on how much money you make. I've never gotten anything either. My guess is that you must need to make more than $10k per year. Eric
I got the first USB drive from Google, you'd think they'd be more creative than a USB drive. Personally the present I like best is the hundreds of dollars they deposit into my account monthly .

Buggers! Is 15$ usb drive even worth to discuss. Why don't google donate to some needy org on behalf of all the publishers. And send each publisher a receipt of amount donated with name of the publisher. Something more satisfying for a new year/christmas?
You didn't get a cole? j/k Finally someone with a realistic approach to this matter! You're so right...Taking into consideration that you receive the gift if you make more than 30k/month I don't see the point in talking about a $15 gift.... (Seems like google is pretty cheap )
The best gift from google would be to get rid of all those MFA sites, and instead of bitching about paid links, kill the million arbitrage sites over adwords. But i guess that would cost them much more than 15 bucks for a flash pen. Merry Xmas, Google!
I do not complain because they don't send me the gift ... still they send me a check every month way moooorrreeeee than the price of 2gb thumbdrive ... anyway ... it's not about the price, but the "real value" of the gift ... "appreciation" ...
appreciation gifts are a nice gesture, regardless of their value. But it is strange that Google is not making clear who qualifies for them and why. What the heck, for a 2gb flashdrive I'll work harder next year!
