I have mixed feelings about it myself. I did used to enjoy getting flowers, gifts, taken to lunch etc. on Admin's day. I don't think they really do that where I work now--at least not in our office. There are a lot of different support staff roles and I think sometimes it's hard to know who to recognize and who not to (i.e., the receptionist counts as "admin" but do the shipping clerks? How about the accounting staff?) This is probably not the only place where you might have somebody feel left-out because their role didn't fall under the "admin" definition?
Our bosses recognize staff more by department or even treating the whole company--maybe the shipping manager will buy all of us lunch or the whole plant will be treated to a BBQ for going so many days without an accident.
