Business Gift Giving: 

Giving the Gadgets They Really Want

 

Part 2 in a 3-part series

 

Looking for an appropriate, yet unique gift for a co-worker, boss or other business relationship?  In this second of a three-part series, we discuss some business-appropriate gifts we found while surfing the internet.

 

Office gadgets are always popular gifts.  They aren't overly personal, yet will definitely be appreciated by the recipient. We found some items that will make anyone's workload a little easier:

 

Not an ordinary pen 

Pen and pencil sets are a standard, but rather predictable business gift.  But here's a pen that does more than just write!  The Massaging Pen doubles as an acupressure massager.  When it's head is pushed against a pressure point, it can do everything from relieve a headache to minimize stress.  Its encased in a sophisticated silver matte case and has a retractable black ballpoint. Available from Hallmark.com for $20.

 

Talking Desktop Calculator

A great gift for anyone who likes--or has to--work with numbers! A clear English-speaking female voice announces every keystroke, verifying the entries made. There's a 10-digit LCD display, voice volume control and shutoff, time and date display, and a clock with an alarm that gives you a verbal reminder or sounds musically if you like (there's a selection of 15 tuneful melodies). $29.95 from GadgetUniverse.com  

 

Keyless Luggage Locks 

Here's a terrific gift for the business traveler! These sturdy alloy locks open with a three-digit code, preventing accidental opening and tampering. Get a set of three from The Sharper Image for $15.95

 

Seiko's Six Language Translator 

Imagine being able to store important information, communicate in another language, convert your currency, balance your checkbook and be awakened in the morning, all with the help of a translator smaller than a deck of cards. Languages include English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese. $39.95 from GadgetUniverse.com


Electronic Luggage Locator

Another superb gift idea for the business traveler--although this is such a nifty idea, you may want to get one for yourself!  This battery operated transmitter/receiver makes it easy to find your luggage in any pileup. Attach the receiver to your luggage handle before your trip. When you arrive, go to the baggage carousel, click on the transmitter and you will hear electronic and see visual alerts, helping you find your bag amongst the crowd. Cost is only $19.95 and can be purchased from The Sharper Image

 

Handheld Electronic Organizer 

Here's a nifty little gadget to help the recipient keep his life organized! The Tech Solutions Handheld Electronic Organizer will store hundreds of important phone number, notes, dates and email addresses at hand. It also includes an alarm, a calculator and a home/world clock. A great value for only $14.98 from OfficeMax.com

Multi Tasking Mouse

Let this little rodent tackle the clutter on that co-worker's desk while giving her a cheery tune with which to hum along!  This brightly colored mouse includes an AM/FM radio and can hold a photo,  an important document, or even a grocery list. Available from UncommonGoods for $15. 

 

Circuitboard lamp, clock or coasters

These cutting edge desk accessories will be the talk of the office!  The beauty of technology shines through with this unique circuit board lamp, which is made from circuit boards from computers, TVs and audio equipment.  It's virtually one of a kind, with variations in patterns and color. Available from UncommonGoods for $48.00 

 

This clock will delight anyone's inner geek!  It uses yesterday's CDs and
electronic circuit boards to create today's timepiece.  It can be hung on a wall or displayed on a desktop.  Also
available from UncommonGoods; price is $18. 

 

 

Let's face it; in those moments your computer freezes for the third
time in a half hour, you often think it would function better as a paperweight,
or in this case, a set
of coasters. We offer two sets, one with four coasters
featuring a resin seal that handles both hot and cold beverages with ease,
and one with six coasters that have exposed (and perforated) circuitboards
that are best suited for warm beverages. Made of vividly colored,
recycled circuit boards, these sets allows you to exact your revenge
without sabotaging your workstation. Both include a polished, stainless steel tin. From $19.00; available from UncommonGoods
