For Clients
Gift basket from local vendors
Treat your clients to a curated gift basket filled with goodies from local vendors. Opt for a foodie theme with gourmet sauces and kitchen essentials for aspiring chefs, or explore options for the office aficionados with stylish stationery and unique desk accessories. You can even personalize your gift basket by adding some of your own favorite items, introducing clients to products that have brought joy to your life.
Check out these Fort Worth small businesses that offer fun and stylish selections of products perfect for gift baskets:
Flowers/desk plant
Brighten up your client's space with fresh flowers or a desk plant. A vibrant bouquet is always a great way to say “thank you” — especially when it includes a vase, to enliven their day without any fuss or bother. For those with a green thumb, an office plant is the ideal choice. Plants not only elevate the aesthetic of a workspace, theybring the refreshing energy of the outdoors inside.
Pick up a plant from a local nursery such as Archie’s, or grab a seasonal arrangement of flowers and greenery from Gordon Boswell.
For Employees
Work from home essentials basket
Craft the perfect work-from-home sanctuary for your remote employees with a WFH essentials gift basket. Fill it with stylish essentials that bring comfort and joy to their remote work setup. Consider including cozy slippers, a personalized coffee mug, scented candle or gourmet snack for well-deserved breaks — or load it with fun and functional office supplies to enhance productivity while adding a smile to their workday.
Gift certificate or class
While gift cards are a reliable choice, adding a personal touch makes the gesture more special. Show how well you know them by tailoring the gift to each employee's interests — whether it's a certificate for their favorite coffee spot, a spa day for much-needed relaxation, or an experience voucher for a cooking class or movie night. The gift of a personalized certificate or experience not only shows your appreciation but also provide a unique and enjoyable escape from the routine.
For Fellow Business Owners

Your favorite business book
Share the gift of knowledge with a well-loved business or self-development book. Whether it's a title that has personally inspired you on your entrepreneurial journey or a must-read best seller that you know will speak to their goals, a well-chosen book can be the ideal gift for anyone on your list.
Here are a few of our favorite titles to get you started:
Building a StoryBrand: Clarify Your Message So Customers Will Listen by Donald Miller
Scaling Up: How a Few Companies Make It… and Why the Rest Don’t by Verne Harnish
We always recommend this trio of books by the amazing Dan Sullivan:
Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork
The Gap and The Gain: The High Achievers' Guide to Happiness, Confidence, and Success
10x Is Easier Than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More by Doing Less
And we’re also big fans of these two books by Alex Hormozi:

$100M Leads: How to Get Strangers To Want To Buy Your Stuff
For Anyone
Donate to a charity
Explore a gift idea that goes beyond material possessions — consider making a donation to a charity or cause in your gift recipient’s name. Be sure to choose a cause that resonates with your giftee personally, whether it's supporting a local agency or contributing to a charity, research organization or humanitarian group they hold dear. This thoughtful gesture is a meaningful way to celebrate the season of giving while honoring their wish to make a difference in the lives of others.🎁
