Bring your... Rikki to work day!

Wednesday, November 4, 2009 by Brandie Davenport
Last week our Corporate Sales Assistant, Kristie (who also happens to be my sister) was told by my nephew Joe that she needed to bring his stuffed animal who he calls Rikki to work with her. Rikki is actually an otter but my nephew is convinced that he is a mongoose like on the old cartoon Rikki Tikki Tavi. I know this is very silly but I wanted to share some of the adventures that Rikki went on at the Fairytale Bakery!

Rikki started off his morning by helping to greet customers in the retail store. While he was in the retail store he took a little break to look through the viewing window to see the bakers baking our delicious gourmet brownies. For a little while Rikki went missing but we found him cozied up with all the blondie bunnies!
 

Rikki then made his way to the warehouse to help our shipping team ship brownies. Rikki packed his very own Christmas food gift! Rikki wanted to know what it was like to be real tall so he got to sit in one of the bins. Then it was time to head upstairs.
  

First Rikki helped make some copies. Then he helped customer service by taking a couple of phone orders. He also helped do some marketing research. He liked sitting on Alyssa's ball!
  

Next it was time for a meeting. Erin, me and Kari needed some of Rikki's input on a project we were working on.
           
 
Rikki went and helped accounting for a little while. Well, he wasn't much help when he found this cool toy they have down there. Then he stopped to salute "Our Soldiers". Finally Rikki's day was coming to an end. He had a very busy day so he finished it off by sitting in one of our massage chairs in our quiet room.
      

Thank you Rikki for all your help in making the world a sweeter place, one Fairytale Brownie at a time!

Great story about Rikki and his day at the FT Brownie company! I think he looks like more like a mongoose than a otter, so the name is fitting.

This is the most adorable Bring your... To Work Day Story I have ever seen and adds yet another whimsical dimension to Fairytale Brownies. It almost comes to life like an animated kids' movie when you read through it. I have been doing research on your site as I'm working on an in-depth product review on FT Brownies (w/ Alyssa) now that should be up on my blog MommyBlogExpert this week. The focus of my upcoming Fairytale post is on your line now selling at Gelson's in Southern California. I just had to take time out from writing my review, just to let you know that I think this little Rikki the Otter vignette captures Fairytale Brownie's magical quality just perfectly.
