This Year Santa Claus Brought AppleCare Employees Jackets, Pens And Notebooks
In celebration of the season of goodwill, Apple has given its AppleCare employees three particular Christmas gifts this year: a windbreaker jacket, a pen, and a paper notebook.
Each one features an Apple logo either engraved or printed on the gift, as you can see in the above image. The Cupertino, Calif. company often provides its staff with gifts over the holidays and at other points during the year; flashlights were given out earlier in 2013, and back in December 2011 Apple gave its staff hoodies for Christmas.
It seems the windbreaker jacket, pen, and notebook are gifts for AppleCare employees only. Apple Retail Staff, on the other hand, are said to have received discounted iTunes Gift Cards and accessories this holiday season. Our report provided an overview of the accessories on offer:

This year has brought a number of changes to AppleCare, and it’s nice to see Apple reward its staff. Forming part of a move to encourage at-home troubleshooting (rather than a Genius Bar visit), AppleCare now allows users to initiate a screen sharing session with representatives and a revamped AppleCare website featuring a new design, 24/7 live chat support, and more launched back in August in the United States (before rolling out internationally).
