Once again, the holiday season is upon us. As much as we love giving gifts, finding the perfect present can be a little stressful. Often we don’t know what people want, what they already have, what size they wear, what color they like, how much space they have and other information that would help us find “the perfect gift.” In my humble opinion, you can’t go wrong with the gift of efficiency. Gifts that help people to get organized and be more productive deliver joy all year long.
There are many great products out there. Here are a few of my favorites (links are in the product names). Given supply chain delays, I cannot guarantee that all of these will be available in time for this holiday season. Hopefully if you see something you like, you can bookmark it for a future gift-giving event if you cannot get it right now.
[Note: I am not being compensated to promote any of these products, I just like them.]
