A friend and I have graciously been given free rent for our startup in an office with a few dozen other people. We’d like to get the owners of the business we’re coworking with a Christmas present. Any ideas? They’re 35, 45, pretty nerdy, but solidly adult (families, responsibility, etc). Any ideas?

Fizx-I just asked the same question at the same time you did! We are connected!
I like Judi’s idea! Something that conveys how much you appreciate their generousity.
Gift certificates to a fun restaurant… you could also make your own gift basket at rainbow getting fancy organic coffee, yummy treats, etc. The harry and david things are nice, but you pay a lot more than you would just getting the individual pieces, and then you could customize it. Family membership to the new cal academy if they don’t already have it? It’s pricey but an awesome gift and seems a small price to pay given free rent. Here is what I got from the website: Family $159
(Fully tax-deductible)
Includes admission for two adults and all your children or grandchildren 18 years of age and under each time you visit, plus all membership benefits.
Check out calacademy dot org.
Is this for two different owners or are they a couple?
Thanks all! I ended up going with the harry and david, mostly for ease of delivery, and ease of sharing (multiple owners). The Cal Academy is a wonderful idea, because not only is it useful, but it flatters (in a good way) the recipient, by implying you think they’re cultured!
There are a dozen people in my work group. I hate cards but like to say a little thank you without making them think they need to reciprocate. Every year I try to find something, usually edible. that they can enjoy or use for an emerency regift. Last year everybody loved the Mrs. Prindible’s apples and the specialty nuts were good too. This year I am giving mini-boxes of Sees.
Okay, I’ll secind that… BOOZE!!!
