Gifts for the Aspiring Executive (Guys)

We all have relatives and friends who are or plan to be executives in big companies. This is timely advice for graduation and other significant events in a student’s life that means he or she is taking the next step to becoming the business world’s next best thing.

Dress him up for success. Most new grads don’t have much money to afford the little bits of accessories that spell success. After that graduation party, surprise him with these gifts and let him know that you are behind his success all the way!

• 
  Business card case. See Silver Plated Business Card Case. Everyone will be talking about his gold case when he pulls it out to flash a business card. Companies will spring for the basic business cards, but you can provide a more elaborate one along with the case. He’ll appreciate you helping him to put his best foot forward. A new case and free business cards containing his credentials is a thoughtful touch. He can give these away to prospective employers or drop them in fishbowls of hip restaurants for exposure.

• Briefcase. One can never have too many briefcases. The traditional type of case has been replaced with more fashionable styles. If he carries a laptop computer, find a briefcase that doubles as a computer case and a place to store his important documents.

• Personalized Overnight Bag – Most new employees go to team building seminars and events that mean time away from home. These are usually accompanied by hotel stays with co-employees which mean they will share rooms and closets. Make his overnight bag stand out from the rest with a nice personalized touch. This is one bag he probably will keep for the rest of his career as he will need something to throw his stuff in when he needs to go out of town for business conferences in a jiffy.

• 
  Watch/timepiece, preferably personalized. Being on time is important for a businessman. He may need to know the time in this time zone and others as well. Give him a watch that is as smart as his mind. Brands like Seiko, TAG Heuer, Fossil, and Movado make excellent timepieces for the wrist.

Do not forget to include a nicely written card stating how much you wish him well in his journey to corporate success. Most young guys will be touched to the core albeit secretly.
