Clients can be super tricky to buy gifts for. They tend not to be friends or family (if you’re smart), but they are the ones that bring in the capital for your business. You don’t want to go too outlandish and seem desperate, but you don’t want to insult them with a thoughtless gesture. So, regardless of whether you have the clients from heaven or clients that make going to the dentist seem enjoyable, it’s important to let them know you appreciate their business. These gifts should close the deal handily.

Best for the Wine Pro: If you open a bottle of wine, you have to finish it. Those are the rules (right?). But rules are meant to be broken, and sometimes a bottle goes unfinished — which means it won’t be so fresh the next time around. The Coravin Model One allows you to pour wine from a bottle without ever taking out the cork, preserving its freshness much longer. Your client’s wine collection will thank you.
