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 Grand Indulgence Gourmet Gift Basket, 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 Pittsburgh Steelers.

If the clients you want to thank are golfers, consider this putting mat as a client gift. The professional style putting mat (9 feet long) is ideal for refining speed and control. But what I really like about this particular model is that all your putts are automatically returned. 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? The Replogle Cranbrook Globe is beautifully designed, with a burnished, brass plated inclination mounting that allows you to view the sphere without obstruction and champagne-colored oceans highlighting the vividly painted continents and countries. Standing 18 inches tall, this is the perfect finishing touch for an office desk or tabletop.

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. I don't generally like artificial wreaths, but this one, a classic combination of cedar and pine with red berries and natural pine cones from Frontgate, is very realistic looking. And it lights up! Available in a variety of sizes.

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.
