A Week of Gifts for the Meeting Professional

Seeing as it's the holiday season and everyone is busy buying gifts for family and friends, here are some gift ideas for the meeting professional.

• For the meeting professional who needs to know what time it is anywhere they are in the world check out this cool-design travel clock. http://www.momastore.org/museum/moma/ProductDisplay_World%20Time%20Clock_10451_10001_12266_-1_11536_11538_null__6J115
• Chocolate - is there anything better than a good piece of chocolate? We are lucky in Toronto there are some great chocolatiers - check out Soma, JS Bonbons, or your local chocolatier for a box of some delicious morsels.
• For the meeting professional who travels with their laptop (okay who doesn't) check out this mouse designed like a flip phone so it's compact for travel but easy to use. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=112
• How many of us have stuffed our luggage so full of conference material, ahem shopping, and 'stuff' only to arrive at the airport to find out it's overweight - here's a handy device to save the embarrassment of unpacking your skivvies in the check-in line. http://shop.heys.ca/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=xscale
• Resolution for a Healthy New Year on the horizon? Why not give a gift to support these efforts - a gym membership, organic or local fruit/vegetable delivery boxes (there are several companies that offer this service in the GTA), or a pedometer to track steps.  (The recommended number of steps is 10,000 a day - who knew!  http://www.active2010.ca/index.cfm?fa=english_challenge.usingyourpedometer). It sounds like a lot but I bet we'd all be surprised how many steps we take each day.
• Give a gift in someone's honour to charity. Never out of fashion, a gift of charity makes you and the recipient feel good. For the person who has everything or the hard to buy for this might be the perfect thing.
• And if some 'time off' is well deserved for the busy meeting professional, a day at the spa, or a weekend away or at home with no expectations will always be appreciated.
