I don't know what gifts to be given on their special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, christmas.Something which they will appreciate. I need some suggestions hence I'm tired of giving them a basket of fruits, foods and cakes. Any suggestions please. Thanks.

How well do you know this person? Do you know their likes/dislikes/hobbies/interests/etc.? I had a boss who was... well, not in the "donald trump" class, but he was well "padded." For his birthday, I asked his son (who also worked at the firm where I was his father's secretary) what sort of "snack foods" he liked. "Red pistachios." So I purchased a very classy tall, glass jar and filled it with 3 lbs of RED pistachios. HE LOVED IT, and dug RIGHT in! For Christmas, well.. I knew he raised and raced racing pigeons. I went to a "trophy" store... you know the kind where all the bowling trophies, ribbons, etc. are gotten... and I searched their catalogs for a very handsome "Presentation Mug"... it was a regularly sized mug, but "substantial" indeed! It had a spot on the front where a medallion could be attached for whatever sport it was presented for... and I found one with a pigeon. Then, on the base was a small engraving plaque. I had his name handsomely engraved on it. Well... he was just FLOORED by it! He couldn't keep his hands off of it! And after Christmas, when his wife had called him at work, and I had answered the phone, she just HAD to compliment me on that wonderful mug, and she asked, "HOW do you get these ideas?" Well... this is how... I knew his interests, likes, hobbies, and gave it some thought. Oh, the pistachios gift totalled about $30 for jar and nuts, and the mug, believe it or not, was about the same price... so you don't need to spend a LOT of money to make a BIG impression! I hope this helps! Have a polite day.
