<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Costco carries this one. If your client is a fan of Iberico ham from Spain or prosciutto from Italy, this is a great themed gift. The box is quite large. It includes an entire leg of cured meat, with the stand and a carving knife! <\/p>\n

5. Christmas Pudding<\/h2>\n

Cost $35-$50<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Are they an Anglophile? Watch much Bridgerton<\/i> or Downton Abbey<\/i>? This variation on fruitcake is a British classic. You often see it served with brandy poured on top and set alight, producing a blue flame. Williams Sonoma carries a two-pound one for about $50. The British firm Tiptree has a two-pound version for about $35. They say that size serves 10 people. You can also find ones about half the size in the mid-$20s. <\/p>\n

6. Omaha Steaks <\/h2>\n

Cost: $85-$89<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

You have seen them advertised. You get their mailings. Four filet mignons, 6 oz. each, run about $84.00. They have a more extensive package, featuring four top sirloins, with lots of other stuff at $89.99. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

7. Caviar <\/h2>\n

Cost: Varies<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Here\u2019s a luxury item! Zabars, the famous deli in New York, carries American Hackleback Sturgeon caviar at $75 for a 2-ounce jar. They also sell red salmon caviar for $80 a pound, but the packaging is nowhere near as impressive. Saks Fifth Avenue carries Petrossian Royal Siberian Caviar, packaged in France, at $78 for 30 grams (That\u2019s about an ounce). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

In communities with sizable Eastern European populations, you can often find black and red caviar for far cheaper in local supermarkets.<\/p>\n

8. Champagne<\/h2>\n

Cost: $56<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

We recently bought four 187 ml (quarter bottle) sized Moet champagnes as a gift for $14 each, or about $56 + tax. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The brand is iconic. The size is cute. They have a real cork in the neck. There are times a single client wants champagne with dinner, but isn\u2019t ready to open a full bottle. <\/p>\n

9. Book Signed by Their Favorite Author <\/h2>\n

Cost: The price of a book, plus your time<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

This will take some research on your part. Do they have a favorite author? If so, do they have a new book out for Christmas? Are they doing a book signing tour? Does one of the major chains (Barnes & Noble, for example) have signed copies in stock?<\/p>\n

10. Passport cover.<\/h2>\n

Cost: $60<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

This might encourage your client to travel in 2025. The Coach Outlets (website) show their passport cases at about $60. The attractive feature of this gift is it would be equally useful for men and women. Age is not a factor either. <\/p>\n

11. Baked goods. <\/h2>\n

Cost: The price of a few basic ingredients, plus your time<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

My wife loves baking cookies. This is her traditional December activity. We recently supported a membership appreciation event for our favorite nonprofit. She baked more than 600 cookies! Many clients appreciate the personal element of the gift. They might give you cookies in return.<\/p>\n

12. A Contribution to Their Favorite Charity <\/h2>\n

Cost: Up to you<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

They have everything. They are gluten intolerant. They don\u2019t drink. They are charitable. If you make a contribution in their honor to their favorite charity. The nonprofit will likely get in touch and let them know.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
