This year we are going to give out funny holiday gifts. We’ve all been so stressed this year in the office – too much to do, not enough time to do it, no budgets, crazy deadlines, and grumpy people. Yikes!

I started thinking about a month ago… What if we didn’t give traditional gifts to clients that we normally would? Let’s face it – our lives are a dumpster fire right now, why not give them a dumpster on fire for their desk or a mousepad that has the cutest little dumpster on fire.

I’m Fine. I’m Fine! Everything is Fine.

How about some stress relief from Poppit Sheets – pop that stress away with bubble popping sheets. They come in a tissue box, just pop one out and start poppin’ when you see your boss coming.

Everyone needs an insulated cup that says, “Chaos Coordinator.” Someone who solves problems you never knew existed in ways that will blow your mind; see also: ninja, badass; legend.

Sending funny gifts can make your business stand out from competitors and show that you care about your client’s mental health, and you want them to be happy.

Here are some ideas for funny gifts you can send to clients:

Novelty socks: A good novelty sock with the client’s face on it can be a hilarious gift.
Belly button lint brush: A tiny lint brush designed for a belly button is a fun gift for someone who already has everything.
Fake champagne bottle candles: These candles are a fun alternative to shipping alcohol.
Funny notepad: A funny notepad can be a good option for clients who would appreciate the sentiment.

Have fun with client gifts this year. Be sure to put a smile on their face!
