Client gift idea · Researched for one person
A book chosen for them
One book that connects to something they said, with a note on why, or a signed copy if you can get one.
Who it suits
Readers, and anyone who has mentioned a topic, author or problem in a post or a call.
Why it works
A book carries a message about what you think they care about, and it stays on a shelf.
Risks and drawbacks
- A business book that implies they need fixing reads as a lecture.
- They may already own it. A note saying "pass it on if you have it" helps.
Skip it if: You are picking it from a generic "best business books" list.
How to do it well
- Use something they said: a topic, a question, an author they quoted.
- Write why you chose it on the first page or in a card.
Who can do it for you
- Daymaker: Researches one named person, picks one gift that fits, wraps it with a handwritten note and delivers it by hand.
