That one is guaranteed to be left in the hotel room. Business travelers don't check luggage, they use carryons and no one is going to use their carryon allowance for a "winter snuggle basket" even if it was just called a "gift basket." How about just a decent pen or phone accessory?

Something they can eat, drink, burn or otherwise consume.

But i haven't met an exec yet who doesn't like coffee
Mormons don't drink coffee, tea, or coke, nothing with any caffeine.

I've got to admit that, as a Mormon, I am finding this thread quite entertaining. Mormons are not space aliens and shouldn't be any more difficult to shop for than anybody else. Forget about the coffee and tea and you should be fine.
Just a side comment - I recently had the opportunity to see The Book of Mormon at the Kennedy Center, which was written by the creators of South Park. I wasn't quite sure what to expect and knowing South Park, I knew no topic was off limits. What I didn't expect was a message from the CLS in the playbill, not exactly embracing the show, but using the opportunity to say hey, yes, this is funny, but check out the real Book. This attitude intrigued my 24 old son, who has spent time recently reading up on the church and their beliefs (hasn't done that on any other). In fact, if you Google how did the CLS react to the play, there are some pretty interesting articles. I am not one to bash any religion, but I cannot imagine any other religion reacting in a similar manner. Well played.

Back on topic - movie tickets to a national theatre chain are popular and rarely wasted (re-gifted, maybe).
