1. A signed copy of my book ‘Teach Yourself: Making Money From Property’ - Learn all the tricks of the property trade with my guide to property investing, renovating and developing. This is a practical and inspirational guide that could be an invaluable companion to any property entrepreneur. Visit the Store and you’ll get a signed copy for just £9.99 plus £2.49 postage and packaging.

2. Property Development Software – There are lots of specialist software packages and tools available to help property developers and investors with tasks such as; calculating cashflow, rental yields and how much you should pay for property as well as project planning and rental management.

3. Themed Cuff Links – for those ‘off site’ days when your property developer can wear a dress shirt. There are some really interesting cuff links available if you search online. I found ‘For Sale and Sold’ signs ones, Hammer and Drill ones and even, my favourite, an auction gavel set! Check out www.hotcufflinks.co.uk

4. Property Education – get expert knowledge, guidance and mentoring from successful property investors who have been there, done that and bought the proverbial T-shirt. If you really want to help your loved one get a head start in the world of property investing, then pay for them to get some solid education on a weekend training course such as my Making Money From Property training programme. For details, check out the Learn with Martin area.

5. Power Tools – Needless to say for those property investors who are hands on developers, the latest power tools and gadgets are bound to turn them on. Cordless tools are a ‘must’ if your loved one is into property renovation. Visit http://www.blackanddecker.co.uk/powertools/newproducts/ for some ideas.

6. Vouchers – Not maybe the most exciting thing to unwrap, but nowadays there are so many different retailers offering gift vouchers or cards, buying vouchers is no longer a ‘cop out’. Whereas vouchers used to mean books or music, you could now buy the property enthusiast in your life anything from house plants and accessories for dressing up a property for sale or rent to landlord insurance.

7. Magazine Subscription – buying an annual subscription to a property related publication means that your property person can get regular inspiration and information about their most loved subject – property. You could choose from a wide variety of monthly or quarterly publications on topics such as interior design, being a landlord, self build, renovation or even more specific subjects such as kitchens and bathrooms.

8. Customised Workwear – Show you care by giving your property developer friend some groovy workwear – perhaps safety gloves, glasses or boots or all in one suits for those on-site days. If your property developer has a company name, then it doesn’t cost much to have t-shirts, sweatshirts, fleeces or caps customised with and embroidered logo or name. This is also a great way for your friend to advertise they’re business.

9. Digital camera and / or photo album – Any property renovator worth their salts will keep a photographic record of the various projects they have taken on – not just for sentimental reasons but also these ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos can help with work estimates, insurance and advertising the property for sale or rent. They also make up a useful record of a property portfolio.

10. Monopoly Board Game – for the real armchair property tycoon. This firm family favourite has now been around for over 70 years and is still one of the UK’s most popular board games . Approximately 750 million people have played the game, making it "the most played (commercial) board in the World. Already got the conventional version? Then what about ‘My Monopoly’! For about £80 you can have your own customised version allowing you to build a property empire on spaces named by you, for you. Not sure what street names your loved one would want to choose, then you can give them a voucher. Go to www.mymonopoly.com
