What is an appropriate gift for a co-worker or  a client? People receive so many material things they never use. The best gift for people you don’t know super well is something edible. People love to get a special treat. With edible gifts you don’t have the problem of the receiver feeling guilty if they don’t like it, and it won’t end up at Goodwill after New Years. And this edible gift doesn’t have to be big either – in this case it is really the thought that counts. Buy them in bulk if you have many people on your gift list; try to get a wholesale deal if you can. If you don’t know what to bring to the holiday office party, then just bring cookies.
