Opportunities to give gifts come and go several times throughout the work calender.
Whether it's a birthday, an employment anniversary, or a special holiday, it seems that a giftless work place is becoming somewhat impossible.
Members of your staff who commit their lives, or at least a good chuck of it, to loyally serving you and your establishment deserve a slight show of appreciation from time to time.
Among these well deserving individuals is a man or woman who doesn't get recognition nearly enough: the salesperson.
It's true, your sales rep isn't on the employ roster nor do they regularly collect a pay check; but, they are integral to your business.
Anticipating you're needs, you may see or talk to your salesperson quit often.
A good salesperson is just as valuable as a good employee and therefor deserve a little token of your appreciation for their consistent work throughout the year.
Here are a few terrific gift ideas that can help you say "Thanks" to a very important, yet underrated part of your business.

• Gift Baskets: What's not to like about a gift basket.
  They can be fashioned to meet anyones individual taste and budget.
  The abundance of smaller gifts makes it far easier to appease the recipient than one larger gift.
  If you've been in contact with the salesperson for quite some time, you should be able to curtail a gift basket the reflect their personality.
  Still, gift baskets make is far easier to give a gift to someone you know little about.
  Fruit baskets, gourmet gift baskets, and coffee themed gift baskets are generally a safe bet, but you can be as creative as you deem fit.
  
• Personalized Gifts:
Personalized business related gifts are an excellent way to reward your salesperson for their hard work and dedication.
Business card holders, day planners, or pen sets all adapt well to personalization and can make very thoughtful yet useful gifts.
These gifts are generally kept and utilized while possible.
Planners can hold schedules, business card holders can improve client relations organization, and pen sets give users an air of sophisticated class.
While all of these make excellent gifts on their own, the extra time you take to actually get them personalized can speak volumes on behalf of your appreciative nature.

• Wine or Alcohol:If you are on very friendly terms with your salesperson, and you know for a fact they enjoy a nice glass of wine or a occasional snifter of scotch, appeal to their senses with a bottle of their favorite or a well known brand or vintage.
  While it's true that this can make a terrific gift that many individuals would fully appreciate, it's also something that can easily offend or make uncomfortable.
  Only give this gift if you're sure that it will be well received.
  
• Gift Cards and Certificates:
When all else fails and you're not really sure what to give your loyal salesperson, a gift certificate or gift card can do the trick.
Monetary gifts for restaurants, pubs, or stores offer recipients the chance to treat themselves to something they really can enjoy.
These are also great when you're looking for a gift that isn't overly personal or when you don't have a lot of time to shop.
