Top 10 Client Gifts

There are gift baskets designed for every possible taste, from fruit and cheese collections, through coffee and chocolate assortments. If you know what your client's tastes are, it will be easy to find a client gift basket that will make them think of you fondly long after the basket is empty. The gift basket I've selected here, the Basket of Gourmet Foods, is a particularly spectacular example that will impress your clients.

Those clients who are football fans will appreciate getting an authentic NFL jersey for their favorite team or one of their favourite players. The fact that you've gone to the trouble to find out what their favorite team or player is will make this client gift especially appreciated. The link above will take you to a selection of football apparel for one of my favorite NFL teams, the New England Patriots.

If the clients you want to thank are golfers, consider this putting mat as a client gift. The professional style putting mat is ideal for refining speed and control and the putting surface adjusts to 9, 6 or 3 feet in length. But what I really like about this particular model is that all your putts are automatically returned, made or missed. A client gift like this one will be really appreciated by anyone working on improving their putting.

Prefer a traditional kind of client gift? What could be more traditional than a globe? And this globe is truly special. Each country is inlaid from a different, individually cut stone such as mother-of-pearl, amethyst, jasper, and turquoise - 37 different semi-precious stones from all over the world! Thin ribbons of brass form the latitude and longitude lines and the globe is mounted on a three-legged polished bronze stand. Choose from a 6 inch or 9 inch diameter size; either one makes an exquisite client gift.

High quality chocolates are a client gift that's sure to please the chocolate lovers on your list. My favourites for client gifts are chocolates that have both exquisite taste and beautiful presentation, such as these chocolate-dipped strawberries finished with treats like almonds, coconut and chocolate chips. These tasty treats make a truly memorable gift.

A beautiful wreath that your client can hang in his home or office is sure to be an attention getter, and almost everyone appreciates lovely seasonal decorations. While we tend to think of wreaths as December decor, wreaths add a wonderful festive flair to any season. Winter, summer, fall or spring wreaths are great client gifts. The particularly beautiful 18 inch Meadow Garden Wreath from LLBean, a combination of pink and yellow roses, yarrow, feather fern and pink pepperberries, is a great way to bring the late season garden indoors.

Floral tributes are always well received as client gifts, especially if it appears you've gone out of your way to find something unique and impressive. This lavish bouquet with its vivid mixture of fresh favorites such as roses, Stargazer lilies, snapdragons, Fuji mums, alstroemeria and fresh greens lives up to its name "Elegant Wishes" - your client will definitely feel appreciated.

Dress up your client's desk and remind them of your business relationship by giving a desk clock as a client gift. Choose a desk clock with a novelty shape to appeal to your client's whimsical side, or impress her with a more traditional clock. The Bullova Belvedere Clock I've selected here as a client gift is traditional and impressive; it features a solid wood top and base with a high-gloss piano finish and includes a raised chapter ring dial, clock, thermometer and hygrometer.
