Creative Gifts for the Female Entrepreneur

by EWomen Network Women Entrepreneur

Tis the season of giving, and with that comes the long lists of gifts you need to get for those dear to you. What seems easy at the beginning of your shopping trip can become a little tricky when you realize that every gift idea you had wasn’t the best. We’re here to make it a bit easier on you - if a female entrepreneur is on your list. These gifts were curated to be both practical and thoughtful for any woman working hard to make their dreams a reality.

Folders with Personality, $14, Saks Fifth Avenue

Whether she is an organization fanatic or aesthetic addict, these folders are perfect for your lady boss. They are functional for documents and the feminine touch will bring a pleasant pop of color to any workspace. It’s subtle enough for a minimalist taste, yet bold for those fierce ladies who are making strides in their entrepreneurial journey.

2019 Lady Boss Certified Planner, $36, Etsy

Planners are a necessity for any entrepreneur. Add in hair appointments, nail sessions and spa days, and you need one that does it ALL. Give the gift of organization with this 2019 lady boss planner that does just that. It contains a budget log, hand-lettered quotes, habit tracker pages, note space, weekly priorities list, grocery list, sketchbook pages, and more. You can even get it custom made with the receiver's name in calligraphy on the front for a few more dollars.

Motivational Wall Print, $5, Etsy

A meaningful print in neutral tones is a fresh and fun way to lighten up any workspace. There’s endless quotes or phrases that you can create as a print. Choosing one with a motivational meaning behind it adds a sensation of purpose to the atmosphere. Plus, it acts as a daily reminder to lady bosses that they are doing something great no matter how tough the journey may seem.

Multi-Functional Clutch, $48, mochithings

Constantly running from meetings to social events can be difficult if you don’t have a built-in-closet hiding in the trunk of your car, especially with handbags. This simple, yet effective clutch is the perfect solution. It has a main compartment for ipads, mini laptops, or notebooks and a front compartment with elastic bands to hold makeup, phones, pens, and wallets. It doesn’t get handier than that. Trust us, your lady boss will thank you.

Statement Scent Sampler, $65, Sephora

The ideal gift for a lady boss that doesn’t quite know what she wants or that likes to choose the gift herself is something she can try out before making a solid decision. This sample kit comes with a variety of scents, so it’s almost impossible that she won’t find a new favorite perfume. It contains sample sizes, which are perfect for on-the-go testing, and a redemption card to redeem a full-sized product. We think it’s fair to deem this one the ‘gift that keeps on giving’.

Handy Dandy Desktop Organizer, $26, Amazon

Being a female entrepreneur means a desk full of documents, notes, writing utensils, books, paper clips...the list goes on and on. Sometimes she won’t notice how her clean and organized desk looks like a snowstorm hit it by the end of the week. This gift will keep things tidier while giving off an aesthetically pleasing look. The structure also allows it to be adjusted and rotated to best fit any area. No more excuses for cluttered desks!

Empowered Subscription Box, $55, COVET CRATE

Looking for a fun surprise as a gift this year? Choose a subscription box made up entirely of women-made brands. It may include desk decor, stationery, tasty treats, inspirational books, beauty and self-care products, motivational items, and more. The brand works with startups and established companies to bring the best products for others to discover. In the end, it helps empower women-owned businesses, which your female entrepreneur will admire.

Accessories with Intention, $35, MyIntent

Give a gift that’s mindful with these pieces of jewelry. To be clear the brand is not a jewelry company, but a service project that creates accessories to act as a catalyst for meaningful conversations and positive action. It is handmade and scribed with any word you choose. Think of an empowering word that first comes to mind when you think of the receiver or her favorite motivational phrase. There’s a story to be told behind each piece and one behind every entrepreneur - let her tell hers.

Portable Boost Maker, $55, Amazon

Is she always on-the-go? Does she love coffee? Probably two rhetorical questions, which is why this portable cold brew maker is the perfect gift. Forget about diluted, bitter, and acidic standard ice coffee, the Asobu is the first of its kind and provides a fresh cold brew every morning or whenever a boost is needed. It’s also spill proof, so she’ll never have to worry about accidentally pouring coffee all over herself while driving again.

Upgrade the old school name plaque with a modern and sleek design that has a feminine touch. This blush pink foil plaque adds a unique twist to the traditional desk decor. It’s fitting for any workspace and can be customized with a name or creative title.
