By Shari Waters, About.com

Looking for a gift for the retailer or store owner on your list? The following retailing gifts are practical (and not-so practical) for any entrepreneur. From the useful to the zany, here are our top gifts for filling any store owner's wish list.

2. Fire Proof Safe

Right behind a shredder in practical use is the fireproof safe. Cash, documents, backup files and other important items are safe and sound in one of these. Due to the high cost, chances are your store owner hasn't purchased one yet.

5. Retailer Cartoons

Finally, a gift we guarantee that is both unique and will be well received. Any of these retailer cartoons can be bought as prints and originals or printed on merchandise.
