So, you're running out of gift ideas. Over the years, you've given your clients things they like, such as a cat Star Wars poster, tickets to see their favorite band, or even as far as their favorite hot sauce from that one barbeque joint down the road.
Why not get creative this time around? Get your customer something based on their personality! Because their personality is one of the reasons, you call them your best client.
