It’s a fact. If you care about people — you will likely never get over the gift-giving in your life. To help yourself out — always keep an eye out for unusual gifts and grab something when it’s on sale. I get cheap on stuff (my staff calls it cheap-a), but I won’t repeat that here. Pruse gift lists — like this one — and watch for the items to come on sale.
We are Headed into the Third Quarter — Time for Achievement Awards

12. Broken Top Brands Fresh Squeezed Gift Set
13. The Ridge Slim Wallets
14. FlexiSpot Under Desk Bike
We have a couple of these in the office that the health-conscious people grab a couple of times a day. One funny thing is that people who come to the office for meetings always grab one of these and ride — even during the meetings.
15. Ohlavinia Healthy Tips Cannabis Lubricant
16. Tokodesign Inner Drawer Dividers
My wife has gone nuts over these interior drawer pieces. No more cuts from something in the kitchen drawers and I can finally find my socks in my sock drawer. Even more — my bedside table is no longer a ball of rubble.
17. Brilliant — All-in-one smart home control
This Brilliant Smart Panel is many things — but the main one is Brilliant! We have replaced many of our switches with the Brilliant Smart Panel. I cannot even explain how fantastic these are. I hope to have all of the switches traded out as soon as possible. This is truly a great idea and product.
18. Baketivity Kids Baking DIY Activity Kits
My wife bought a bunch of these baking kits for gifts this summer. It is also a fun item to leave out when grammy comes to tend for us. I hope the office peeps think it is as funny as do when I invite them to the cabin in a week or two and hand out different varieties of the Baketivity Activity Kits for our bake-off this year.
19. MegaPro 13-in-1 Ratcheting Driver
20. VR Vive Pro 2
…Still one of my favorite items. Yesterday I saw the Vive Pro 2 on sale at Walmart for about half what I paid on Amazon.
21. 3D Printed Agera Volition Putter
Second place in our sales contest will receive this Cobra Golf Putter. It is awesome.
Get a Little Joy From Your Gift-Giving This Summer and Always
Usually, if you get on a site — somewhere (like Amazon, or a product site — the company — will send you an email when the item is on sale. Easy-Peasy.
Having an item at the ready takes a lot of the horror (okay, joy) out of gift-giving. For productivity, always have something available at home (or office) that you can hurry and wrap up and take to someone, or have UPS pick it up to deliver for you or your company.
Remember — It Doesn’t Matter What Gift You Give
Remember that it doesn’t matter what you give — just think about the important people in your life and give them something on their special day. In college, I was so poor and I asked everyone their favorite color and their favorite candy bar or treat. During those years — people received a candy bar with a bow around it in their favorite color.
Do THAT (the candy bar gift) one day for everyone at work and watch how it transforms your office. Productivity soars when we appreciate our teams.
