I got a Camtasia Studio Screencast as a Gift!

If you haven't noticed already, we like to do things a little differently around TechSmith, and today's Secret Santa luncheon was no exception. Instead of the normal Secret Santa gift exchanges, we added a little twist - you have to get your gifts off of eBay! It makes for some fun and interesting gifts, ranging from vintage cookbooks to Napoleon Dynamite lunchboxes. And of course, the stories of the searching, bidding, and winning are the best part.
Well, despite the magic of eBay, not all the gifts made it through the mail on time. The gift I was gave didn't come on time either, so I just wrapped up a printout of the auction I won and presented that at the lunch.
However, Brian Lesperance from Sales had a much more creative way to give me my gift that didn't come on time. He made a Camtasia Studio screencast!
Thank you, Brian - you made my day! He is one technologically-advanced Secret Santa. This video is almost as good as the gift. Watch for yourself! Click the screenshot below to watch.
I posted a few pics from our luncheon here.

I thought using Camtasia to record the eBay santa gifs was a great idea. We might try that at our job place.

This could become the new virtual gift card, right? (last-minute, electronically delivered, less impersonal than a $-based gift card, etc).
Not very good for a "secret" gift, though, with a pic-in-pic of the giver!

John,
Thanks for the comment!
Did you end up doing this? How'd it work out? Anything you can share?
