It’s that time of the year again – the time when your world revolves around festivals, parties and gifts!
Out of these, the thing that requires most attention and the most thought is the gifting ritual associated with Diwali or Christmas – whatever festival you celebrate. The best gifts are those which reflect the thought put into the selection. If your close friend or loved one is a high-flying business executive, you might find it difficult to think of gifts that are appropriate for him. We are here to help, as always, with a list of great gifts to give to someone who’s a business executive. (This list is especially beneficial for those women who want a perfect gift for their partner who is also an executive or a businessman. So guys, feel free to refer your female friends to this list!)
Option 1- Spa Treatment
A business executive leads a harried life - meetings, takeovers, acquisitions, memos, frequent trips, wheeling and dealing and much more. This is enough to stress out and tire even the hardiest individual. What better gift to give them than a spa voucher, then? At the end of the year, all he wants to do is relax, get pampered, feel good, and take a break from the madness of the corporate world. If you have the budget, you can book him a stay at an Ayurvedic spa in Kerala. With a slightly less extravagant budget, you could even book him into a luxury spa at a 5-star hotel in your city. And if your budget is even lesser, then try researching the less expensive spas in your city. Some cities even have a dial-a-masseur service which is mostly affordable. So treat your friend or relative to a hedonistic gift, and be remembered always for your thoughtfulness and good sense!
Option 2- Digital Camera
Though everyone nowadays already has a camera, a digital camera with high-end features is tailored for people who are constantly on the move. Pick out a model that is sleek and stylish and which does not require too much care. Fragile models are a no-no. Your executive friend will be sure to appreciate a gift like this, especially in the holiday season when photo-ops are a dime a dozen.
Option 3- A mobile phone
If you have the budget for it, as well as someone to get it for you from aboard, the latest Apple iTouch is a great choice. Else a blackberry or any other high-end mobile phone with features that are tailored for business men is a good bet. Storage space, bluetooth, and many more are features that he would really appreciate in a mobile phone. So if he doesn’t have one already, or if you feel he could do with a better one, then head to the nearest mobile outlet! It’ll make him sit up and take notice!
Option 4- Laptop
A laptop is an integral part of the businessman’s work life. He is sure to already own one, but if you keep an ear out and listen to his discussions with his friends and colleagues, he is sure to mention a model he has been eyeing. A good surprise gift for him would be to buy a laptop model that he is considering and get custom made features added to it for him. Since an executive leads a hectic life, it’s best to get one that is shock proof and water proof and also has a long battery life. Also, a slim sleek one will again fit the bill because of his lifestyle, rather than a bulkier version.
Option 5- Cufflinks
If you prefer to give a gift that is classy and discreet, then cufflinks are a great option. They are the perfect last touch to add to a man’s outfit to take him from being well-dressed to being classy and distinctive. Pick out a pair of expensive, gold cufflinks to wear with his business suits and you’re sure to win his gratitude. They are also a very practical and useful accessory to own.
Option 6 - Designer Watch
The watch a man wears says a lot about him. Pick out a designer watch in a classic style and get set to give a wonderful gift. Though many say that a watch is very personal and that a man should choose it himself, if you know him well enough to know his sense of style and his preferences, you cannot really go wrong with it. Also, designer watches are seldom tacky or over-the-top and are known for their minimalist style. So picking one out should not be a difficult task.
Choose from among these six options for a truly thoughtful and useful gift this festive season. Your loved one is sure to appreciate the thought behind the gift and be touched by your gesture. There’s nothing like the joy of seeing his face light up when he opens the wrapping on a gift that he is sure to love.
