Hiya folks. So I have this client and they have 3 different producers that send me work. I'm coming up on my 50th project for them, and I'd like to send a gift to the group.

It's three guys. I thought about some sort of beer assortment, but I'm always afraid someone is "friends of Bill W" and won't be able to enjoy it.

Any ideas? Laugh

Wine is good. Even if they don't drink it's a good re-gift.

Harry and David fruit.

Swiss Colony food basket.

Box of chocolates and candies from England. That goes over real well.

I used to give gourmet coffee but people can be pretty picky about brands and other factors, so now I give Harry & David chocolate towers.

Never met a guy who wouldn't appreciate a Home Depot gift card, (or similar), particularly if he's the kind that has to be the Maintenance Engineer on his own studio-office. We give them as wedding presents.

Give’m something they can really enjoy and share. Give them Kispy Kreme. They will enjoy the treat, I will thank you for helping improve sales.

Phillip wins. I always lean toward the case of wine for long term client that I love working with. There's several nice local vineyards here..so it's a nice personal tie in.

In case you need another idea in the future, I'm a big fan of the Popcorn Factory popcorn tins.

I like to google the town they live in and find a lunch place that uses local ingredients, artisan bread and that sort of thing, and get a gift certificate.

Get 'em Razer Mamba Gaming Mouse. Producer's dream mouse. They'll think you're a genius and love you every time they click.
