We’ve compiled a wish list of gifts specifically for process servers and private investigators. While some of these gifts are beneficial to running a business, others are just downright fun. Falling into a variety of price ranges, there’s something for everyone.
The Garmin Nuvi 255W will be the process server or private investigator’s new best friend. Driving in an unfamiliar neighborhood while conducting surveillance? Serving papers in a rural area? The Garmin Nuvi 255W will help you take the most direct route (and stay on-route), saving you time and gas money. Rated as one of Consumer Reports' best personal GPS products, the Garmin Nuvi 255W must be on your wish list this year.
If you aren’t already using a smartphone put this at the top of your holiday wish list. A smartphone will revolutionize the way you conduct business. Give clients status updates while you’re away from the office, reply to requests instantaneously and streamline your work so you are accomplishing more in less time. Consumer Reports ranks the Samsung Blackjack II and T-Mobile Wing at the top of the smartphones; however, your carrier can help advise you on what will be the best choice based on your personal and business needs.
Let’s face it, you spend a good portion of your day in the car. This holiday season, ask for something that will help make those long hours melt away. Whether it’s that game you didn’t want to miss or a special interview on NPR, this is the gift that will keep on giving. The SIRIUS Sportster 5 Satellite Radio Receiver with Vehicle Kit is an ideal gift for an investigator or process server who spends a lot of time in the car.
4. Monk: The Obsessive Compulsive Collection
If you have yet to experience the TV series Monk, this collection of the first four seasons will help you catch up. Monk is a private detective, who takes on the most impossible cases, and has some phobias, obsessions, and compulsions that make it all worth watching. Give the private investigator in your life the gift of laughter this year with this fan favorite.
5. Outliers By Malcolm Gladwell
Marketing guru Malcolm Gladwell is at it again. In his newly released book Outliers: The Story of Success, he examines why people succeed. He looks at the lives of outliers from Mozart to Bill Gates, and he builds a convincing case for how successful people rise on a tide of advantages, “some deserved, some not, some earned, some just plain lucky.” Process servers and private investigators alike will enjoy this fascinating read.

Acer Aspire One 8.9-inch Netbook
Bill while you bill with this Acer laptop. Many investigators are able to utilize their laptops to work while on surveillance or working in the field. Consider adding a wireless card to it, to gain additional workplace capabilities.
