Cashmere Pashmina Shawl by Pure Collection

Gift Challenge (Part 7 of 7 solutions): I need to find a great gift idea for 45 VIP clients for a corporate event. In the past, we have given them iPods, cell phones, GPS units, etc. This is an annual event in November, and we're looking to outdo ourselves this year. Last year everyone absolutely loved the red iPods we gave them. In the past we have decided against personal items like jewelry, wallets/money clips, etc because our clients have indicated that they don't use them. These clients are professional, successful people. We're looking to spend around $200 per client, and we usually either give all 45 of them the same gift, or we get men's and women's gifts. Either is fine. Another gift idea for the ladies is cashmere. With fall and winter on it's way, a cashmere wrap is both luxurious and useful. Available at PureCollections.com.

Self-Watering Planter by Karim Rashid

Gift Challenge: My boyfriend loves to have green plants at home but always forgets to water them. I'm tired of reminding him to water his plants. I've suggested cactus and other desert plants but he likes leafy green plants. Are there smart gadgets out there to do the work for us? Try out these self watering planters. The concept is simple: fill the top layer with soil and the bottom container with water. This way your plant will absorb water when it needs to and you can cut down on watering directly. Infact, this method is better for the plant because then it can intake water when it needs it. A side window shows the water level and you can easily refill through the circular opening that flips to open or close. Available at APlusRStore.com. Do you grow herbs at home?
