Anyone can get an expensive business gift for their client. But can you find a creative one under $25 and can it be memorable? Here are my selections this year:
Earbud Cleaning Kit. For the client that has everything and everyone has this issue. It has the tools you need to make those buds sparkle: a soft brush for dust, cleaning swabs for grime, bristle brushes for dirt, cleaning spray, and anti-static wipes.
Heng Balance Mini Lamp. The minimalist Heng Lamp is a surprising way to illuminate any area. The lamp is lit by connecting the balls containing embedded magnets. Separating them turns off the light. The sleek design creates the illusion of light passing through the curved frame. $25.
Fall Asleep Here Magnetic Bookmark. For the client that is a big reader especially at night. $20.
“Same as Ever” by Morgan Housel. The only book on my list this year. From NY Times best selling author, Morgan Housel who teaches on to rely on things that never change as we face an ever changing future. Great read! $20.
Mindfulness Dice. This fun-to-use, interactive set of six dice makes it easy to practice mindfulness at work and in daily life for anyone looking for more peace and balance everywhere. $19.
Fredrick and Mae Paper Games. Put down that smart phone and pick up a pen. This fresh interpretation of classic paper and pencil games features five tear off pads with colorful edging and sleek modern graphics. The set includes five two player games, some familiar and some new: three-dimensional Tic Tac Toe, Dots and Boxes, Hedron, Nim, and Hex. $20
Bad Choices. Get to know your client better by playing this game where it asks you about the bad choices you have made in life and business. $25.
Coup Card Game. Maybe perfect for a presidential election year. In Coup, you’ll assume secret identities and use bluffing and deception to outmaneuver your opponents. The goal? Eliminate your rivals and be the last one standing. $14.
