Top Gifts for New Business Executives

A new or junior business executive finds that the life of an executive has a very "keeping up with the Joneses' feel". For that reason, there are many appropriate gifts for new business executives to make their jobs easier and more stylish.

Every business person (man or woman) needs a good briefcase. The briefcase has become the iconic symbol of this blanketed profession of "business person". Designers like Kenneth Cole make stellar business cases in all sizes for about $100 on up. Basic models are made of high-quality leather and are fully lined. Most have slots or pockets for things like cell phones and business cards. Be sure to purchase one with both a padded carry handle and a removable shoulder strap.

Next, a nice pen makes a very traditional and well-appreciated gift for any business exec. When purchasing a pen, quality is the key. Cross is the top name in pens for executives that is widely available throughout the country. A good model is the Cross Townsend Selectip Rolling Ball pen. It retails for around $75, but is guaranteed to be free of mechanical defects for life so your business person will surely get enough use of it to warrant the hefty price tag. The Townsend model comes in various color styles like quartz blue and titanium, so you can buy one to match their favorite suit. Cross products come gift packaged so it reduces another thing to worry about during the holidays.
