Your 2015 HolidayGifting GuideThe trendiest gifts and the best ways to send them

Those who gift,

WIN.

The holidays open up the perfect opportunity for you to reach out

to prospects and customers to move your relationship forward,

no matter what the stage. A good gift can help to retain a client,

secure a renewal, or even close a deal.

Which leaves the looming question…

“What the heck do I send?”

We’ve got your back, Jack.

We’ve compiled a list of our favorite trending gifts with tips on

best practices for sending, as well as a handy budget guide.

Give the Gift of Personal Style

Leather Phone Case $

We’re firm believers that one

can never have too many phone

cases, especially when they’re as fine

and functional as these. Consider sending

a bundle that includes both Android and iPhone cases to an

office or department. Pair it with a personal note to send a

thoughtful, low-cost gift.

Featured product

Evernote Smart Notebook

Can you say nerding out?

Because that’s what we’re

doing over Evernote’s latest

sync up with Moleskin. Perfect

for that techy client or the entrepreneurial

company who wants to show a trendy side.

Featured product

Flip and Tumble Backpack $ $

Jane Austen once said, “It is a

truth universally acknowledged that

you can never have too many bags,” or

something like that. We’d have to agree. Perfect

for man or woman, concrete jungle or countryside,

this gift is for anyone on your list.

Featured product

Give the Gift of A Great Workspace

Terrarium Kit $ $

This terrarium kit is a modern-day

spin on the holiday poinsettia.

Send these air plants with a clever note

about business growth and your gift is guaranteed to be a

showstopper—you’ll demonstrate you care about their

business and personal wellbeing. Win!

Featured product

Leather Cord Wrap $ $

We love gifts that take a mundane situation and turn it into

an opportunity to shine, which is exactly what this cord wrap

does. Fine leather goods company This is Ground crafts

handmade products like the Cordito to keep your client

strolling around the office with style. Check out their website

for fun extras like the Cord Taco or Knick Knack Nacho. (Yeah,

we’re getting hungry, too.)

Featured product

Tablet Stand with Stylus

Send this unique gift (that looks great

branded or not), and your clients will

thank you for its utility and style. Every

time they use it, they’ll think of you! Send a whole bunch

(they’re cheap!) to an office for the ultimate holiday gift-bomb.

Give the Gift of Cutting Edge Tech

Virtual Keyboard

Whether you’re responding to

emails, struck with a brilliant idea, or

taking notes, we’ve all been there—trying to

type up a storm on your tiny little phone screen.

For uber-trendy companies wanting to make a splash with

their holiday gifts, the virtual keyboard is a sleek solution.

Featured product

Tile Keychain $ $

You know your customer’s time is important,

so why not give a gift that says so? (Make sure you

write this in your accompanying note!) Tile makes sure its owner

will never lose their keys, wallet, phone, or other valuables again.

It syncs to devices via Bluetooth, uses GPS tracking, and even

communicates with other Tiles to help find lost items.

Featured product

Smart Speaker Cone $ $

“It’s 7AM on a Tuesday and I’m reading the

paper. Cone knows to play something bluesy.” If you’re a company that

prides yourself in creating high-end experiences for your customers,

Aether has created a gift that oozes luxury, and is exactly the kind of

splurge that tells them how much their business means to you. Plus

who wouldn’t want to send a gift that recipients will fawn over?

Featured product

Give the Gift of Gourmet Goodies

Hot Cocoa Kit $

If this gift doesn’t shout holiday

cheer, we don’t know what does.

This nifty kit is the perfect shareable gift for an office. For the company

that wants to send something classic, yet delightful (can you say ‘no

more fruitcake, please?’), this cocoa is the perfect choice.

Featured product

$

Cold Brew Coffee Press $ $

Few things have been trendier this year

than cold brew coffee (because who

doesn’t love coffee on steroids?). Send

this carafe as a single gift to a customer,

or as a staple for the whole office to enjoy.

Featured product

Carry-on Cocktail Kit

Have a prospect you know is

always traveling for work?

The Carry-On Cocktail Kit will be his new favorite carry-on item.

Choose between the Moscow Mule, Old Fashioned, or Gin and Tonic to

give the gift of a great cocktail at 30,000 feet.

Featured product

$ $

Savory Sweets

Dean and Deluca not only

make scrumptious fine foods,

but they’re also masters of presentation. Send sweets for the whole

office to enjoy. As they get passed around, so will the word on who

sent them.

$ $ $

Featured product

Give the Gift of Fun and Games

Cubebot

Be honest, one look at the Cubebot

and you wish he was sitting on your

desk right now. We get it, and your

customers will, too. Not only is this gift

perfect for the office, it also boasts the winning ability to be brought

home to the kiddos. Talk about showing the customer you value who

they are outside of the office. #winning.

Featured product

The Octagon

No, we’re not talking about the greatest

Chuck Norris flick of all time (although

that would make a great gift too). We’re talking about puzzles like

you’ve never seen. This wooden brain teaser is a low-cost gift that feels

like a high-end item. Great for keeping in brainstorming spaces and

creative meeting rooms.

$

Featured product

Pocket Projector

While you might think the

Pocket Projector is an office-oriented

gift, its potential stretches much further than that.

Ingenious as a tool or toy, this gift can be used to project anything from

your quarterly budget recap to the kids’ cartoons—right from your

phone or tablet. Trust us, your clients will appreciate the versatility.

$ $ $

The holidays provide the perfect opportunity for you to make a

real, valuable connection with customers and prospects. The fun

doesn’t stop there, though. To really stand out, consider sending

a New Year’s gift to your customers and prospects. You’ll

demonstrate that you care—and not just because it’s December.

Our clients use gifts year-round as powerful sales, marketing, and

customer appreciation tools—and have seen increases in ROI by as

much as 1,500% compared to their efforts without these touches.

We may not be as cute as Santa’s elves, but we can help

you get great gifts into the hands of your customers, and

winning results into yours. Find out how.
