If you didn't already know, 3M shareholders can sign up for an annual holiday box. It costs money to order, but it's still much cheaper than buying the individual components (although if you don't need command hooks or post-it notes it might not be worth it for you)
Full disclosure: I am the proud owner of one share of MMM.

- Rebelgecko 5y agoIt was a slightly tongue in cheek comment :) You need to own at least 1 share to be eligible for the annual gift box, so I own one share. I think it's a solid dividend stock if you're into that kind of thing, but I'm not. I try not to have too much of my portfolio invested in individual stocks, or do anything else that would make the late Jack Bogle disappointed in me.

The ideal investment vehicle for Bogle was a low-cost index fund held over a lifetime with dividends reinvested and purchased with dollar cost averaging. Wow, pretty cool guy for a banker — wonder what his "catch" was!
