(Hurray~~) If you still haven't made up your mind what gifts to give away to your business contacts, employees, or clients, go for the simple and practical choices rather than somethings flashy and expensive.

Money Clip - Engraved Business Gift

Generally, a money clip is a tool used to store cash or credit cards in a stylish way for those people that don't want to carry a wallet. It securely wedges the bills and credit cards in between the two pieces of metal, eliminating. The money clip, although functional, is also one of the accessories of business men and women, or commonly used by the upper echelon of society. It is a great option for business people to carry around their cash without trouble of pulling out their wallet.

There are different types of money clip and materials that they were made from, such as Metal, Magnetic and Rubber Variant. Metal made clips are typically the most luxurious clips compared from the rest. It is luxurious because it is made from stainless steel, gold, silver and titanium metals. However, due to inflexibility of metal, it can only enable you to hold a small amount of cash. Magnetic made clips are typically made from two flat rectangular or maybe circular magnets covered in leather. It is separated with another small piece of leather allowing them to swivel open and close.

Unlike metal clip, magnetic clips allow you to hold larger amounts of cash, but it is not advisable to hold credit cards because the magnet can cause distortion and it can even erase magnetic stripes. Another type is the rubber variant that enables you to group credit cards together while folding bills into thirds, and combining them with the rubber band around. Because this is not really a money clip, a rubber band variant can also serve the same purpose like money clips. Hybrid money clip is the most functional of all the clips. It is typically designed to hold cash, credit cards and ATM cards. They come in different designs with solid plastic or magnetic clip.

Other modern money clips have evolved to include additional functional features. Such item is a hybrid money clip. It allows you to attach cash, credit cards and ATM cards. You may find items that look like a small leather wallet that allows for additional carrying space to house credit cards, ATM cards or business cards. However, this type of money clip is much larger compared with traditional clips.

Another popular design for these items are those that comes with a personalized touch. To make it even more special, you'll be able to have your initials engraved on it. Personalized money clips come in different designs and styles that can match different personalities.

If you are a sport minded person, you might want to consider NFL Emblem Money Clip. And for a more elegant look you might want to consider a Throttle Stainless Steel Money Clip. This can also make an ideal distinguished gift item to congratulate the success of your colleague. Make it more special be engraving his name on it.

These items can come in handy for anyone when wearing formal dress on special occasions or events such as weddings, black tie or red carpet celebrations. Many professionals opt for money clips when they are in a business setting. To find personalized money clip, you can try browsing the Internet for online stores that offer these items. This is a very easy and more comfortable way of locating good stores that offer a variety of selections to choose from. They also sell other engravable gifts that are perfect for your special professionals such as leather desk sets.

(As economy has been hit quite badly this year, picking a presentable yet affordable business gift during the holiday season would definitely make some of us scratching their head in despair. Then this following article that I found absolutely will become their life-savor. Enjoy.)

Holiday Business Gifts That Won't Break the Bank
By Michael Lerner

There is no doubt about it. The Christmas holiday season this year could be the worst one ever when it comes to giving and receiving gifts (and selling them for that matter). For most companies and organizations, the big bonus will be a lot smaller than before. There may not be any bonus at all. And if the company holiday party was not booked and paid for more than 6 months ago, there's a good chance that there may only be a small lunch or maybe breakfast this year.

It all sounds pretty grim, but there is a way to let your customers and employees know they are appreciated without having to leverage your company. And, unless you are strapped for cash, it is vital to continue the tradition of celebrating the holidays for business. Why? Because when there is a recovery, everyone who is vital to your organization will remember that you did what you could in hard times. That loyalty will pay dividends in the coming months or years.

Let's start with corporate customer gifts. In the past you may have given out a fancy gift certificate to a store or restaurant if it was permitted. Maybe a nice piece of crystal or a bottle of wine or box of cheese. You can be excused this year as expectations are obviously lowered. A beautiful wall or desk calendar is appreciated just as much, and best of all, also advertises your services every day of the year if you choose to print your logo and contact information.

There are plenty of other holiday gifts and giveaways for under $5.00 that customers will appreciate. Laser engraved pens become a thoughtful gift when presented in a nice box.

And then there is candy. Customized chocolate bars, truffle assortments and other fine candies are reasonably priced and are enjoyed by every recipient. Although food gifts are consumed and the printed containers discarded, they leave a lasting impression and give you a good excuse to make sales calls in December.

For employees, gifts this year are more important than ever. People with jobs may feel lucky to be employed at this point, but at the end of the day we all want to feel appreciated and know that better times are ahead. Most employees may be losing bonuses and raises this year. And the big holiday party is bigger than you would think. It is a chance for them to let their hair down and spend some social time with people they spend a good part of their life with.

A small gift of recognition is vital in this economy. It lets every staff member know that you care about them and recognize that they too have made sacrifices for your continued survival and success. Embroidered apparel, fun games and gifts for the barbeque or kitchen will help fill a void and lets everyone know they have not wasted their time at their jobs.

The bottom line is not if you can afford to give a holiday business gift this year, but can you afford not to.

(Hey guys, as the holiday is approaching, I found the following article with unique holiday business gifts ideas really helpful - at least to me. Hope you'll find it the same way. Most of all, happy holidays! ^_^)

Holiday Business Gift Idea
By Celia Namart

The holiday season is close and there is no doubt that soon everyone will be back to the usually holiday occupation, finding gifts for friends and family, and in many cases, work colleagues. It is not uncommon for people who work together to give each other gifts for the holidays, it is actually a very nice gesture, since most of us spend so much time with other people in the office, it actually makes a nicer working environment to treat each other like we would with our family and close friends.

During the holiday season, many businesses like to give their employees, associates, and partner’s gifts to show their appreciation. This is a great idea, during the course of the year, some employees or partners can begin to feel unappreciated, overworked, and resentment can build which is something no business needs or wants in their dealings.

Therefore, taking a few minutes to show your appreciation and shop for a business holiday gift is a great idea.

When it comes to shopping for the gifts, you might to take into consideration a few of these holiday business gift ideas.

The first holiday business gift idea is to consider wireless internet as a great business holiday gift. Wireless is great, gives freedom of movement, and enables your partners, associates, or employees to get their work done at home wherever they feel like working. This allows them to enjoy their family or events without having to feel shutout from the rest of the world.

You might also want to consider a cordless mouse and keyboard. This is a great holiday business gift idea. Many people are tired of the messy cords and cluttered desks. What is great about this holiday business gift is that it does not have to cost you an arm and a leg; you can get them together for less than $100.

If you know someone who is new to the business, consider giving them a gift certificate with a person who can help them really get moving forward such as a QuickBooks trainer, marketing consultant, account consultant, attorney, or even a management consultant. This can be a holiday business gift that really helps them in their career and much appreciated.

You might also want to consider giving them new business cards. You could visit the local printer or graphic artist and design them a brand new business card. If you do not have the time to visit them consider an online business card source.
