What client gifts do you give for the holidays?

Hey Mozzers!

It's that time of year to start thinking about gift giving. I am the worst at finding cool ideas!

What have you done in the past to show your clients love and appreciation over the holidays? We are setting a budget of about $40-$50/per client. I'd love to hear your ideas..

I'm typically on the receiving end of the gifts. I'll start with what I hate getting: calendars, usb sticks, fruit baskets, chocolates, candies, office desk knick-knacks and etc.

My favorite gifts are Amazon Gift Cards, business books and liquor/wine. Basically anything that I will use!

I think the important thing is that is show some thoughtfulness. If you know something that the client needs/wants in their office, or if there's something they could use for business, or even if you happen to know everyone likes a particular food (for which you could get a basket); something along those lines is typically best.

Of course 'calendars, usb sticks, fruit baskets, chocolates, candies, office desk knick-knacks' were the obvious choices that came up when we started brainstorming. But I am also a fan of giving things people will get use out of.

I love the idea for a business book! What a great way to start off the new year with a new, good read. Thanks!

A graphic designer that's a good friend and referral partner is giving away Costco pumpkin pies to anyone that does business with her or has referred business to her. All they have to do is RSVP and she'll have it ready for them a day before Thanksgiving.

I thought the idea was brilliant. It shows her sincere appreciation, is easy, and doesn't cost a ton.

I really like the business book idea, too! Nice one, Kevin.
