Back when The Skunk Works in Palmdale used to have a Gift Shoppe (honest!) I ordered some knickknacks from there -- refrigerator magnets, coffee mug, license plate frame, etc.

The box they sent the stuff in was a standard USPO mailing box sealed with the cheeriest Smiley Face tape and cushioned inside with the local newspaper. There was also a big Smiley Face dran on the enclosed receipt.

They're a cheery bunch there at Black Ops Central.

One of the guys that works for me did 10 years at the SW. Says it was the best place he has ever worked - including for me! The can do spirit and the innovation allowed was impressive. Of course it helps when you have basically unlimited budgets. Same guy went on to help build the B-2.
