Christmas gifts for accountants are certainly something to ponder. Accountants crunch numbers, do taxes and give advice to clients, but what kind of Christmas gifts do accountants find useful and thoughtful?
Nifty Nicky says Christmas gifts for accountants are a difficult subject...
Career related Christmas gifts are always a good idea, but if you can't come up with great Christmas gifts for accountants, then you should think about their other interests, outside their careers, to determine what Christmas gifts accountants might like.
Here are some thoughts about extraordinary things that might be good Christmas gifts for accountants:
1. A handheld PDA
Accountants generally use computers and many travel to their clients' job sites. They may carry a laptop computer with them, but for quick, simple meetings, a handheld PDA may be more appropriate for recording their notes, scheduling their appointments and so forth.
PDAs are nifty pocket-sized gadgets you can use to record information then upload that information to your desktop computer rather quickly. So, handheld PDAs are extraordinary Christmas gifts for accountants.
2. Briefcases
When accountants visit their customers, they usually need to take paperwork with them, so briefcases for carrying that paperwork are good Christmas gifts.
Many people think that one briefcase is plenty, but really, when you are working with several different clients and have numerous appointments in a day, it can be nice to have more than one briefcase to keep your client information separated.
3. Ergonomic office furniture and computer accessories
Because accountants spend a lot of time at a desk engaged in repetitive motions, such as operating an adding machine or entering data into a computer, ergonomic office furniture and computer accessories are wonderful Christmas gifts for accountants. Ergonomically designed products help to prevent injuries from repetitive motions that can lead to things like carpal tunnel syndrome.
Did you know? Carpal tunnel syndrome and similar injuries resulting from repetitive motion account for over half of all occupational injuries and illnesses.
4. Vacation packages
Everybody needs to get away from the hectic realities of life from time to time, even if just for a weekend. Thus, vacation packages are fabulous Christmas gifts for accountants and everyone else on your shopping list!
