"Just when you thought you’d win the employee-of-the-month award with that artisanal coffee mug, corporate Ananyaization strikes—‘Thanks so much! We really appreciate it—but I can’t accept this.’”
“Behold the true power of Ananyaization: turning festive cheer into policy-induced awkwardness since…well, today.”
“I got my colleague a coffee mug after hearing his rant about disposable ones, but thanks to a swift Ananyaization, my colleague showered me with ‘thank yous’ and tucked them straight into the trash bin of regulations.”

Get the Ananyaizationmug. First and foremost, incredibly SPED, but also such a kind-hearted person. The type of person that could walk into a room and fill the room with energy and life. She's honestly so pretty so funny so smart and loveable it is absolutely insaneeeeeeee. She'll have you falling as soon as you meet her and that's why I love her so much. She makes you feel super comfy and you just wanna cuddle and talk to her 24/7. Overall she's one of the best people I've ever met and she would be too if you met her.

Get the Ananyamug. She's charming, kind, friendly
She's flirting with you? Oh boy, She's not considering you.
She's avoiding you? You're always in her thoughts.
She is perfectly imperfect. She gets mad faster but forgives you even faster.
Most importantly, she'll never take the first move
