Need a Gift for a CEO who has it all? We suggest trying something you can’t get in any store, something one-of-a-kind—your own unique brand of thoughtfulness. Because when it comes to someone this impossible to shop for, it really is the thought that counts.

Here’s a list of gifts CEOs will never forget (or throw away) even if it seems like they already have everything they could ever need or want.

 

If your CEO is outdoorsy…

The gift: Yeti Tundra from Swag.com

What makes it memorable: This phenomenally rugged cooler will get your CEO through every kind of weather and every kind of terrain. Combine that lasting durability with the addition of your company logo, and you’ve got a gift that will stand beside your CEO for years of outdoorsy memory-making.

The gift: Trailhead leather notebook

What makes it memorable: This 192-page notebook will hold all your CEO’s hiking notes and musings for the next several years. It might even stay on the living room bookshelf forever. Your CEO might even pass it onto the kids to continue the adventures.

 

The gift: GRAYL® Portable water purifier

What makes it memorable: You can claim any gift “keeps on giving,” but when you’re giving a portable water purifier, that hyperbolic statement is 100% true. Whether it’s on the trail, in a kayak, or on a climb, this gift will keep on giving your CEO clean water. GRAYL water purifiers feature a one-press filtration system that removes viruses and filters particulates to provide clean water anywhere—anytime. Your CEO will thank you while hiking, musing about how awesomely handy your gift is.

The gift: Bop It

What makes it memorable: Any playful CEO probably already has a fidget spinner. Go old school with the original toy for fidgeters—a Bop It.

What makes it memorable: Health conscious CEOs probably already do quite a bit of meal planning, and they’ll love organizing their culinary ventures and grocery lists in this pretty planner, especially if they digitally organize all their other tasks. Using a tangible planner will turn meal planning into a more satisfying ritual.

The gift: SnackNation

What makes it memorable: The snacks, duh. If your CEO doesn’t like snacks, he or she might be dead inside. Ok, we kid, but SnackNation isn’t just for offices.

Build your own or have our snacking experts curate a best-in-class mix over at SnackNation Market.

If your CEO is planet conscious… 

The gift: Seasonal produce calendar

What makes it memorable: Give your CEO the knowledge of produce seasonality. This calendar makes for a nice office or kitchen conversation piece, and it also delivers a wealth of valuable knowledge on when to buy produce to get the best flavors while doing the least harm to the planet.

The gift: Help nature with the Nature Conservancy

What makes it memorable: A gift from the Nature Conservancy gives your CEO more than just a token of your thoughtfulness. It also makes your CEO part of some real action in protecting animals, lands, and waters. For example, a sea turtle nest gift offers far more than an adorable plush; it also helps preserve sea turtle habitats.

The gift: Compost bin

What makes it memorable: Your CEO will never forget how you gave a garbage gift and we mean that in the best possible way. If your planet-conscious CEO isn’t already composting, then this gift will provide just the push necessary to inspire a major reduction in garbage production.

The gift: A handwritten note and a homemade treat

What makes it memorable: This gift works every time. It demonstrates impeccable thoughtfulness and a great deal of effort, even if your cookies aren’t as perfect as you want them to be or your note isn’t as profound as you had hoped. This gift is pretty much guaranteed to warm your CEO’s heart.
