SPECIAL REPORT - EXECUTIVE GIFT GIVING
It’s about time
Time can take its toll during the holidays. Why not make time work for you and your loved ones this year with gifts that make your time well spent?

Escape — Get away from it all. If someone on your list can use a break, consider a movie pass to a favorite multiplex. For the busy athlete in the family, choose a nearby ski resort and give a weekend lift pass. When trying to give the gift of escapism, simply think of that person’s favorite hobby and let them indulge it at your expense.

Relax — Burn-out can be remedied with a massage, facial or both. Spas specialize in gifts that make time a pleasure. And a spa does double duty by re-energizing your loved one for the remaining holiday season. If he or she needs time to chill at home - without the kids - take them away for a few hours for the day. Think of it as a holiday from the holidays.

Enjoy time — The gift of time can also include the real thing: A fine Swiss watch.

Timepieces are in demand these days as both men and women enjoy true craftsmanship, precision and even some glitz on the wrist. While you might not be able to make the workday shorter or add more time to a loved one’s day, you certainly can give the gift of time in an elegant, luxurious way.
