A question for the collective:

Imagine you are the world's greatest boss. Or, okay, just a pretty good boss. It is the holiday season, and you have staff to purchase gifts for. You have six or seven people to buy for, and you don't make gobs of money but really appreciate your people. Also, you work in the publishing industry

Clearly I would give them the complete Twenty Palaces series!

Or maybe a gift certificate to the nearest indie bookstore.

Calendars with a literary theme.

Book tokens (vouchers, in Amglish).

Or Penguin mugs.

I love those mugs! I would hope they sell them in the US.

However, I'm not certain that promoting a competitor's books is quite the right idea...

Interesting pens? Ties/earrings/pendants with book-related things on them?
