How do I select the right gift?

Appropriate Gifts

Gifts should always be appropriate for the occasion. If in doubt, ask someone what is normally given. For instance, a hostess gift might be a decent bottle of wine or fresh flowers. A business gift should be impersonal. It is bad taste to give personal items in a business setting.

Not a comment but another question. Q. Your business partner has a child in the hospital in critical condition. You want to do something to show you care but flowers and gift baskets seem so trivial at such an emotional time. Other than cards and prayers, what would be an appropriate gift?
