Holiday Gift Ideas for Business Clients

If you run your own business you will not want to forget all the important clients that made 2006 such a success for you. Sometimes it can be difficult to think of appropriate gifts to give these important clients. Gifts for clients can be given anytime in December and through the first week in January. To help you decide on what gifts to give your clients, here are a few gift ideas.

Gift Certificates

One idea is to give a gift certificate to your local clients. Choose a store that you feel they will shop at, especially if you know something about your clients hobbies or interests. Place the gift certificate into one of your business envelopes and include a handwritten note and one of your business cards. Do not forget to say thanks for your business this year in your note.

Snack Jars

Do you know what your client's sweet tooth is? Perhaps you know their favorite gum, or hard candy? Fill a colorful glass jar (with lid) with their favorite treat. Decorate the jar with a ribbon and a holiday card. Slip your business card inside the holiday card.

Bakery

Is there a local bakery shop that sells delicious baked good? Purchase a holiday tray, line with some baked goodies. Tape your business card somewhere on the tray. Attach a holiday ribbon and you have an elegant and tasteful holiday gift.

Logo Basket

Take a basket (craft stores have them) and fill with your favorite logo merchandise: cups filled with cocoa packets, pens, t-shirts, keychains etc. Make sure your company name and phone number is one all the merchandise. Line the basket with a festive cloth and tie a holiday ribbon on the handle.

Engraved Items

Purchase some silver ornaments, or desk accessories (card holders, pen holder, paper weight) and have them engraved with your company name, phone number and year

Business Items

Paperweights, card case, pen & holder, desk clock, calendar, portfolio and appointment book, calculator, money clip
