This is the week of the surprise presents. Whether it’s your boss who drops an engraved paperweight off on your desk or the friend you’re trying to shed who shows up at your door with a big box you have to be prepared for the unexpected. We always keep a supply of neutral gifts on hand for the unexpected reciprocal gift.
Stock a few of these items in your desk drawer and hall closet. Make sure you have some ribbon and gift bags on hand so your giftee doesn’t know that you were caught empty handed.
1. Candles are always good – get them in yummy or fresh scents.
2. Items for the home like throws and coasters or luxury foodstuffs are always welcome.
3. One of our favorite gifts to keep on hand is a selection of gloves, scarves and cashmere socks. Everyone loves these little luxuries and right now they’re all on sale!
