Tools of The Trade

Some pretty good ideas have first been inked on a random piece of paper or even the lowly napkin. Dump the big white board and share your genius with co-workers—real time—using the interactive Canson’s Papershow, which includes a digital pen, USB key and special paper to render those concepts on a computer screen; whatever you draw or write appears on the monitor from up to 20 feet away. Mistakes can be erased and different colors may be used. A word of caution: Don’t forget that the page is live and doodle unflattering images of the boss during your brainstorming session. Price: $199.99 for the starter kit. Available at retailers such as Staples and Best Buy. For a complete description, visit www.papershow.com.

Leave a lasting impression by giving your clients a good bottle of vino, packed inside a pine or oak wine box engraved with your organization’s logo. Boxes start at $11 and the engraving is $4 a box. Wine sold separately. Order at www.wines.com.
