When it comes choosing the perfect holiday gifts for REALTORS®, several IAR members shared ideas they would appreciate or their colleagues would like to receive.

Some gifts can be expensive:

  • Scottevest shirts, shorts, pants, jackets, hoodies, coats, cardigan sweaters and caps designed with special pockets to hold technology and other essentials – Justin Letheby, Keller Williams Fox Valley in St. Charles
  • iPads or other tablets – Renee Naffziger of Baird & Warner in St. Charles
  • Driver/Chauffeur for days with many back-to-back appointments – Mabél Guzmán of @properties in Chicago
  • Large bottle of expensive whiskey – Naffziger

But for many other ideas, you can find a gift that matches the amount you have budgeted:

  • Wine – Kim Keefe of RE/MAX Plaza in Woodstock
  • Smart touch gloves for computer and phone touchscreens – Letheby
  • REALTOR® kits – small bin with a flashlight, measuring tape, booties, mold mask, mini wrench or star wrench, nine volt batteries – Carrie J. Bey-Little of Baird & Warner in Glen Ellyn
  • Massages – Guzmán
