Advice & Tips

Now that you've decided when to give, the question is what to give. And it isn't that easy--you have lots of options.

Food is a very popular and cost-effective choice. Chocolate, wine or other liquor, fruits, cheeses-the options are endless. Popular non-food gifts that are also fairly inexpensive include flowers, tickets to events, and items for the office.

Whatever you give, personalizing it can score you big brownie points. Think back to your conversations with your client. Did he or she mention a special hobby? If the gift coincides with the hobby, you can count on your attentiveness being appreciated.

For example, if your client mentioned a love of fishing, a simple book on fishing will do the trick. Even just personalizing an item with their name will be seen as thoughtful.

Stay away from charitable donations-- although giving to a worthy cause can seem like a fail-safe, it isn't very personal. Clients who don't believe in the cause of a particular charity may find the gift offensive.
