Most people, when they think of Christmas gifts, think of toys and goodies that they can use on their off-hours. However, if you really think about it, that's not really beneficial in many cases. Too often, we end up using stuff we get as presents as a reason to procrastinate—but why do that?
These productive Christmas gift ideas for your friends will prove that you can give them gifts they'll love—but also help them stay on top of what they need to do.
