Also try business gifts like:  desk clocks, picture frames and unique chests or cache boxes for very stylish desk accessories that will show your appreciation this holiday season.  Corporate Christmas gifts are a great way to show recognition as well as make a lasting impression, so this year give corporate gifts that everyone in the office can enjoy.

Personalized bookends add elegance to office or home setting.

Bookends are a great gift idea for teachers gifts or retirement gifts.  For your favorite teacher you could write the year they were teaching for you and then add text like:
To the greatest teacher in the world,
To my #1 teacher,  or
For all the great memories and great teachings you’ve given me through out the year.

For retirement you could include the date of retirement with a company logo and add personalized text like:
All your hard work has finally paid off,
Thanks for all your hard work and dedication,
The years have gone by so quickly, but we will not forget your wonderful personality, or
May your years of retirement be filled will all the happiness you deserve.

They also work great for anniversary gifts or wedding gifts.  For either one you could include the date of the occasion, along with the names.

Here you could include a picture of a heart, wedding bells, stars, etc.

The text is up to you and the message is personalized to your liking.
