Editor’s Note: This is part of our Holiday Gift Series. Checkout Part 2.

Corporate gift-giving is a tricky endeavor in the first place, but when you’re dealing with VIPs—big clients, board members, and other notable folks who’ve been on the receiving end of more than a couple monogrammed pen sets—it’s even more challenging.

This is a population that already seems to have everything, so your go-tos may not work. Plus, you want to make a dazzling impression … but to appear like you’re not trying to.

It’s a delicate dance, but we’ll teach you all the steps!

Here are our favorite holiday gift ideas for VIPs. No pens included.
