Since I’m on a roll as far as gift ideas (LOL) I thought I would tell you about another great source for great gift ideas. However this time the gifts are for those with more distinctive tastes. Often these kind of gifts are considered “executive” gifts.
My Father is a great example of someone who appreciates style and function. He’s also the type of person who can buy whatever he wants, when he wants, so you know whatever you give him has to really stand out. My Father is happy to get a mug or a pair of Santa sock for the holidays from the kids but from my Stepmother and others he always appreciates gifts with class and style.
The Executive Gift Shoppe (yes, spelled the Old English way) is a great online resource for executive type gifts. Businesses often shop at stores like this to buy special gifts for their employees. It’s also a great place for people like you and me to find the perfect gift for the man in your life. Most gifts on the site are more geared towards men, however I found several items that I wouldn’t mind owning myself.
The Executive Gift Shoppe approached me and asked if I would like check out the online store and pick an item for review. WOW! I felt like a kid in a candy store browsing all the great goodies.
I thought about getting something for my Father since he’s always doing great things for us and especially our children. Since my Father is a world traveller I thought he might enjoy this awesome World Sync Time Zone Map Travel Atomic Alarm Clock, or perhaps one of the other travel alarm clocks.
Then I thought about maybe I should get something for my husband. After I came up with a list about a mile long I figured I best look for something for myself. I saw TOO many things I would love to get for my husband. My husband is a Dallas Cowboys fan and I think he would love this Dallas Cowboys NFL Clip On Sport Quartz Pocket Watch.
If I could afford it I would LOVE to get him this 7-piece eco-friendly desk set. This would really dress up his work desk. In fact it would make him look like a real executive. LOL! Or even a brand new lap top bag instead of the ratty one he currently uses.
In the end I looked for something for myself. Since I work from home and I’m at my desk all day long I thought it would be nice to get something special for myself. My first thought was something to hold my business cards but there were too many business card holders to choose from. I did really like the blinged out card holders. They were really nice!
After spending at least 2 hours going around the entire online store I finally decided to get a Howard Miller Weather Trend Weather & Maritime Clock. I like that it shows the date (I can NEVER remember the date!), time, moon phases, indoor temperature, humidity and weather trend (sunny, cloudy, raining…). It’s actually pretty cool and I find myself checking it a lot during the day. Especially when I’m sweating like a pig but see that the humdity is only at 37% (which would make no sense).
The weather station seems to be pretty accurate. I double check the temperature and humidity with the local weather and it seems to be the correct temperature and humdity. Even the graphic changes to reflect the current weather which is fun to watch. Right now it’s showing partly cloudy. If it wasn’t pitch dark outside I’d go outside to see if I can see clouds.
I really like the extensive collection of gifts geared towards men. I find that men are often very hard for so it’s nice to have a shop that offers gift for men for every budget. Even though the name of the store includes the word “Executive” does not mean that the prices are sky high. I actually found plenty of affordable gift options.
If you are looking for classic gifts for that someone special in your life or to reward an outstanding employee (or even your boss!) check out the wide selection at www.ExecutiveGiftShoppe.com.
Executive Gift Shoppe would love to award a lucky reader with a $50 gift card to spend at their store. Thank you Executive Gift Shoppe!
