Small Gifts for Your Favorite Accountant

Are you searching for the perfect small gift for your favorite accountant's Christmas stocking? These stocking stuffers might bring a smile to an accounting student's face.

Stocking Stuffers for Accounting Students: Highlighters

Accounting students are famous for their type-A personalities, and highlighters are one of their favorite ways to make some sense out of their complicated notes. Highlighters also run out quickly, so even if your budding accountant already has highlighters, they will definitely appreciate the gift.

Stocking Stuffers for Accounting Students: Logic Problems

The typical accounting student has an analytical mind and loves problem solving. Give them a fun way to put their skills to use with a book of logic problems. My favorites are the logic-grid problems like the ones made by PennyPress.

Stocking Stuffers for Accounting Students: Sudoku Puzzles

Along the lines of logic puzzles, but with more numbers! I notice a lot of students in some of their extra-long classes will pass the time with a Sudoku puzzle from the local paper. The problem arises when they finish the puzzle but still have more classes to make it through before the end of the day. With your gift in hand, they will never have to suffer distraction-less through a lecture ever again!

Stocking Stuffers for Accounting Students: 4-Function Calculator

A back-up calculator is a must-have for any accounting student. Also, you can pick up a small calculator at your local grocery store for just a few dollars. However, this gift is so useful and functional that you may want to balance it out with something useless but somewhat more enjoyable, such as chocolate!

Stocking Stuffers for Accounting Students: Gourmet Coffee, Mocha, or Red Bull

Whatever their caffeine of choice, most accounting students will have to spend some long nights studying. Help them out with a delicious treat to keep them alert when they pull all-nighters.

Stocking Stuffers for Accounting Students: Business Magazines

Hopefully your favorite accountant is interested in the world of business in general. Help them stay informed with a copy of The Economist or Business Week in their stocking. There's always some down time for extra reading during the holidays, so they'll have some free time to catch up with what the experts are saying.

Of course, don't forget to fill their stocking with some non-accounting goodies too, as some accounting students may wish to think about anything except accounting during the holidays. Associated Content is full of great ideas for stocking stuffers, this one about gourmet stocking stuffers, and this gem about stocking stuffers you can make by hand.

Happy holidays!
