The Entrepreneur's Holiday Gift Guide

Christmas is stressful. There, I said it. The annual time of 'joy and happiness' can drive the best of us to a glass of something strong. When we went around Fleximize HQ, however, and asked everyone for their #1 Christmas stress, it was clear what it was: present buying.

Whether you're looking for a rude mug for your office Secret Santa or something impressive for your other half, Christmas present buying is a pain for anyone. Especially so for Entrepreneurs.

With less time on you hands and more to worry about than many, navigating the high street is something you shouldn't have to worry about. So we've embarked on a trawl across the web to select the best of the best for you to spend your hard-earned money on, while getting that value that your business mind constantly craves.
