I tell everyone I meet (and I meet alot of people) that I do both this and PC, and yes, I do closing gifts with PC or give a gift certificate for them...
Not many agents anymore is giving out closing gifts though...I'm not sure why. But PC makes GREAT housewarming gifts for the new homeowner...

Were I to approach you in the office to look at house warming gifts or closing gifts for your clients, what do you suggest I have with me? Should I do a cover letter of some sort, and have mini catalog? Or bake a small loaf of bread (something to get your attention) and give it to you with a small PC item (like a twixit clip or bamboo tongs?).
