As a soon-to-be college graduate and young PR professional, there are a lot of things I need (or think I need) to help me begin my journey to career success. A few friends also weren’t sure about what to ask for this Christmas. Here are 20 suggestions for what a young PR professional can ask for this Christmas:

  1. Padfolio
  2. E-reader - Kindle, the Sony Digital Reader, or the Nook
  3. Briefcase, messenger bag or computer bag
  4. Business suit
  5. Dressy watch
  6. Dayrunner Organizer
  7. Pulse Smart Pen
  8. PR Week subscription

  10. Personalized stationery and thank you notes (this set is scented!)
  11. Netbook
  12. Unique luggage set
  13. Kensington Wireless Presenter
