As many of you know, I’m a car salesman during the day and a millionaire DJ during the nights, that’s right, I don’t sleep. It’s not that I don’t want to sleep, I just have no time for it, because I need to write articles like this one about the 10 best gifts for a salesman.
For this article, I went straight to the source, my wife. I told her I had an idea for an article but I was going to need her help. After she agreed, I asked her to make a list of all the presents she had given me since we started dating seven and a half years ago.
That same afternoon, she dropped by my office with the promised list, which had about 26 items on it, that’s about 4 gifts a year she had given me, but there probably were many more we can’t remember.
I then chose my favorite items from her list and made my own list which you can find below.
Note that, this post contains affiliate links and that every commission I get will go into a special dinner for my wife as a way to thank her for helping me out with the article.

I love my wife very much, she knows I do, and she also knows how much I love drinking at work, especially after closing a big deal. I got this gift from her after getting a big bonus in my second year at work and I’ve used it a couple of times a week ever since.
If your company allows it, here’s the link to the product. If they don’t allow it, please don’t buy it, or buy it for your home office instead. If you’re not sure whether they allow it or not better play it safe and don’t buy it.
9. Keurig K-Elite Coffee Maker
What would life be without coffee? Is it possible to exist in this universe (or computer simulation) as a human without coffee? Is coffee what makes this life worth living? Those are just a few of the questions I ponder during my coffee breaks at work.
When our coffee machine finally broke at home, after served us well for over 5 years, I mentioned Gwen how good coffee at work is, and that we should look into getting the same coffee machine we had there. The next day, I got a phone call from her saying she was out shopping with her friends and asking me what brand was the coffee machine we had at work.
The rest is history.
She says the place she bought it from is not in business anymore, but searched for it online and found the link to our coffee machine here. Of course, you don’t need to buy it online, but it’s always nice to read the reviews before heading to the shop to see the actual product, and imagine how it would look in our kitchen 🙂
8. An improvisation class
Because we used to love the show “Whose line is it anyway?” she thought it would be fun if we signed up to an improvisation class for couples they were starting at our local community center.
It was a free class and it only lasted for a few months but it sure was fun.
As every salesman knows, even though we have our sales pitches and scripts, a big part of our job involves improvising, so besides being great for work, it was an amazing bonding experience for us as a couple, as it’s said that laughing together is one of the things that work best to strengthen our relationships.
“It’s all about the cues” our improv teacher used to say, and even now, I occasionally find myself repeating “pay attention to the clues” when I’m in the middle of a conversation with a customer or colleague.
7. A miniature replica of your favorite car
In order to be able to sell cars, you need to love cars. I honestly think there’s no way you could fake it 40 hours a week, 160 hours a month for the rest of your life.
To be successful in this business you need to love people and you need to love cars. And nothing says “I love cars” like having a replica of your favorite car displayed somewhere in your office. If it’s on your desk it even makes for a great ice breaker to ask your clients if they know what car is it or telling them a brief story about how that was your first car ever and how one never forgets their first love.
My all-time favorite car is the Maisto Toy 1971 Datsun 240z and Gwen knew it, that’s why she got me this little beast for my 24th birthday.
6. High-end Belgian chocolate
Nothing says I love you like 5 Lbs of Bada Bing Bada Boom fancy Belgian chocolate.
Gwen gave me this one after I let her in on a little trade secret known as “the chocolate effect”.
Believe it or not, chocolate alone has helped me close at least a dozen deals. All I do is offer the most delicious chocolate on the market to your prospect customers and the deal is halfway done. Here’s my favorite one.
5. A relevant tie
As many of you know, I started my career working for Volkswagen. There were fun times. I can still remember that excitement of the first week at work when you’re trying to make a good impression and be the best that you can be.
When Gwen found out I had gotten the job, we wend out to celebrate by having a romantic dinner at a very modest Japanese restaurant and this was her gift for me. If you don’t want to click the link let me tell you it’s a Volkswagen tie. Because Volkswagen means “the car of the people” and I’m definitely a people’s person, this was obviously the perfect gift for me and even though I don’t work there anymore, I still wear this tie occasionally and it works wonders as a conversation starter.
4. Costa Del Mar Sunglasses
Sunglasses protect our eyes from UV rays and blue light. They also make you look cool, especially in summer.
I had forgotten mines at a coffee shop we went to and that’s why she gave me this new pair from a brand I wasn’t familiar with before called Costa Del Mar. Here’s the link.
3. Luxury Pen by Scriveiner London
A pen? Really? Yes! Absolutely. Pens (just like underwear) are the kind of items you give for granted until you get a new one. Gwen gave it to me as an anniversary present last year and I just fell in love with it from day one.
Besides being absolutely gorgeous, it feels so smooth and comfortable in my hand that sometimes I find myself holding it just to get that extra confidence boost we all need sometimes. Oh, and by the way, this is probably the only item on this list I’ve had on me every single day at work during the last 3 years. For more info check out this link.
2. A funny t-shirt
Gwen said she saw this one and just had to buy it for me.
I must admit I have used the phrase on it a few times myself. Not on customers so much as with friends. “Life’s too short, buy the car” could apply to anything in life. For as much as I love watching some little numbers in my bank statement, I must admit I enjoy it way more when those little numbers take the shape of something I can actually touch (or drink) and enjoy.
It’s also a great morale boost, as it’s much easier to deal with rejection in sales when we remind ourselves how short our lives really are and how we should be making the best of each day because it could be our last one.
For me, when I’m questioning whether to buy something I like or not, I remind myself of how many people die every day with thousands of dollars in their bank account they never had the chance to enjoy because they thought there would be time to enjoy it later and now it was the time to work hard.
“Life’s too short, buy the car” is not just a funny quote on a t-shirt, it’s a philosophy worth living for.
1. Holidays
I love my job, I really do. I love meeting new people, I love being helping them and I love the rush of a closing deal. With that being said, I must admit it can be quite a stressful job as well. The stress is totally worth it, but it is stress nonetheless. That’s why the number one gift for a car salesman is the gift of peace, at least for a few weeks every year.
The gift of no internet, no phone calls, and no clients.
That was the most memorable gift I have ever gotten from my wife. It was a 2 weeks holiday for just the two of us. After finding a lovely Airbnb house by the lake and booking it, she had specially arranged it so that there would be no wifi while we were there and called it “our no-technology getaway”.
It worked wonders and those 2 weeks off-the-grid were the reason I was able to close a huge six figures deal when I came back. I was revitalized, stress-free and my clients could feel it thus making them more comfortable to do business with me
Bonus gift: Beer!
Full disclosure: This wasn’t a gift from my wife but from a client of mine.
Even though this happened a few years ago, it really feels like it was yesterday. I had gone above and beyond to help a customer even after we were supposed to close the dealership to make extra-sure he was 100% satisfied with his new car and there were no further questions. The next day, he showed up at my office with a 6 pack of imported beer and told me it was his way of saying thanks for the patience I had had with him the night before. That’s the kind of small things that make me feel like I’m really helping people and making a difference in the world.
Bonus gift 2: Perfect GMB reviews
Beer is awesome, but l must admit what really makes my day is getting a detailed review on Google My Business about how I helped someone find the perfect car. Good reviews are the second best gift to receive as a car salesman. Needles to say, the first one is referrals 😀
