Time is such a precious gift, because it's a commodity you can't buy . . . or so you think! There are some people that just seem to have more hours in the day, and there are others who are perpetually running around trying to get more done. If you know someone who's always got something going on, they need a gift that will work with their busy schedules. That's where we come in.
We've found several gifts that will "buy" the recipient some time — they will be the perfect holiday treat for every busy professional. Check out this time-saving list that ranges from the budget-savvy to the lavish. If you shop right now, you still might just get a minute to breathe.
