Best Holiday Gifts for the Home Office Worker, Part 2

• Financial Tracking Software

Financial tracking software is a superb gift option for anyone who is somewhat computer savvy and has to deal with money. Since most of us have to deal wtih money, that probably leaves plenty of people on your gift list who are good possibilities. If you are buying for a home office worker, especially one who freelances or consults and has to track invoices, billing, taxes, and business expenses, good financial software is invaluable. There are many options; if the person you are buying for isn't super savvy with computers, be sure to purchase one with a manual and tech

support.

• Wireless Mouse and Keyboard

You can find wireless mouse and keyboard combos at any major computer store or online computer outlet, and usually for a very good price. Having a wireless keyboard and mouse can be very helpful for the home office worker who needs to set things up a bit more ergonomically. And fewer wires to deal with in the home office is a gift in and of itself. Look for a fully functional keyboard and mouse that come with the wireless hub, which is the hard that plugs into the computer and transmits to the keyboard and mouse. Most of these will work with any type of operating system.

• Additional Memory for the Computer

You don't necessarily have to know the recipient well for this one, but you do have to know a thing or two about their computer. If you can't get that information, consider a gift card to an online computer memory store, so that the recipient can call and order the correct memory with the help of the customer service representatives.

• Ink for the Printer

As with the computer memory idea, you don't have to know the recipient well, but you do have to know about the printer in use at the home office. Printer ink is rather expensive, as a continual home office expense, so it is great to have an extra supply of both color and black ink cartridges on hand. If you aren't privy to the brand and model of printer, then a gift certificate to a printer ink supply store would do just as well. You could always wrap it with a package of printer paper.
