Female Entrepreneur Gift Guide
Having trouble finding the perfect gift for your entrepreneur pal? Look no further.
As an entrepreneur myself, I am well versed on what we like (ha).
I’ve put together a very comprehensive list of gifts. You are sure to find a gift for anyone on here. This list has a variety of price points.
To make it easier on you, I’ve broken the list into categories. You can jump to a category below.
Also- I legally have to mention that this article contains affiliate links. This means that if you buy something from one of these links, the company may give me a small percentage as a thank you. This doesn’t impact the cost for you.
jump to a section:
Self-care
Instant Pot
The Instant Pot is a great gift for anyone who is busy and has a lot to balance because it’s a throw-and-go meal creator. I’ll put together a meal and hit cook, then a few hours later it’s done and just like that, I have food for the whole week. Seriously a time saver. Plus, there are so many things you can do with an Instant Pot. Oatmeal, roasts, soup, pasta, mashed potatoes… the list is endless.
I personally have the 7qt one and usually makes between 8 and 10 servings.
Meal Kits
Decision fatigue suckssss and these meal kit boxes help a ton. My partner and I used to be subscribed to Purple Carrot, a vegan meal kit subscription box. We loved it! We actually still make some of the recipes from it years later.
The box shows up with everything portioned out. You simply take everything out and follow the directions. It’s a great way to learn new cooking techniques and get inspired as well.
Meal Prep Containers
Meal prepping has been a lifesaver. Every Sunday we cook a big ‘ol batch of food and portion it out into containers to be eaten throughout the week. This helps us actually eat a healthy lunch.
Buying good containers and getting organized makes it more enjoyable, so I highly recommend it. These containers by Rubbermaid have a great seal and are microwave safe.
Foam Roller
Between work and ballet, my muscles could always use some rolling. Having a foam roller on hand means keeping my body feeling great. I usually break it out at night while watching TV so I can roll my muscles on the floor.
The bumpy ones are my favorites because I feel like they work the muscle more.
Yoga Mat
Let me be so abundantly clear: I am not a yoga person. I don’t enjoy yoga. But I do have a yoga mat.
I use my yoga mat to stretch and meditate. Occasionally I even pull it out to work on the floor on it. Being able to stretch in a comfy way makes the long hours of sitting much better on my body.
Candles
Candles create ambiance, smell bomb, and make me feel like I have my sh*t together. I’m so serious when I say that candles help me improve my productivity.
My favorite candles are from Emerald Hearth. Siren of the Sea is my go-to, but you seriously can’t go wrong.
Essential Oil Diffuser
The safer alternative to candles. I have both an essential oil diffuser and a collection of candles. The diffuser obviously has no flame. I keep mine in my kitchen. It’s a great thing to set up and leave running so you can come home to a delicious smelling home.
Nice Chocolate
Nice chocolate is a great gift for anyone since it’s not something commonly bought for oneself.
Snacks
Sitting at a desk all day, networking, or creating… snacks are always a necessity. This box is full of healthy snacks that will win over almost every entrepreneur—just be sure to check that the recipient doesn’t have any health/dietary requirements that won’t allow them to enjoy all the goodies.
Coffee
Every entrepreneur knows the value of a good cup of coffee. A nice bag of coffee is a great gift. You can get fancy and also include coffee accessories like a pretty mug or a carafe. I love a good sampler pack because you ensure that there’s at least something they’ll love.
If you don’t know if the giftee is a coffee drinker, you can always go for a gift card too.
Flowers
Flowers are always a great gift because people rarely buy them for themselves—especially in the winter. I’ve ordered from Urban Stems before and can confidently say they are professional, high-quality, and a wonderful gift. I was a bit apprehensive about having flowers shipped, but they turned out beautifully.
Amanda Frances Mug: “My work is of high service and is worthy of massive compensation”
As I was working on this blog post I looked over and realized that I was using this mug. It’s one of my all-time favorites. This mantra is VERY important for female entrepreneurs to remember. We often discount our services and give away our time so the daily reminder that we are creating something bomb is always welcome (and encouraged).
Cozy
Socks
Cute and cozy socks… There’s not a whole lot to say here, but does anyone dislike getting socks??? Didn’t think so.
Cozy Slippers
I love a good pair of slippers. For some reason wearing shoes makes me a bit more productive, but I don’t want to walk around my house in real shoes so slippers are the best mid-way point.
Onesie
Onesies are made for entrepreneurs who work on their computers. We can work from bed, the couch, a desk, or the dining room table in a onesie. Warm & cozy!
Entrepreneur Sweatshirt
I have a sweatshirt similar to this and I wear it with pride. Starting a business is not an easy feat so being able to claim the title that I have worked for is powerful. It’s also a great conversation starter because people ask what my business is.
Services
House Cleaner
The gift of a clean house and more time is priceless.
Website Audit
Support their business by buying them a website audit. This service gets them professional insight on their website and suggests ways to improve. This is a low cost way to make a huge impact in someone’s business.
Massage
I don’t know any entrepreneurs who wouldn’t love a massage. This gift is self-care, mental health, and physical health all wrapped up into one. Head over to google and search for a masseuse in your area.
Photoshoot
Branding photos are one of the best investments in a business. Showcasing the products, services, and face(s) behind the brand makes a huge difference. It allows us to show up professionally and look even more credible. (p.s. be sure to send your entrepreneur pal this article about branding photography for websites)
Customized
Notebook
A notebook is a great gift because we have a million ideas and nothing quite beats writing them down on paper. A personalized notebook also looks so professional for meetings.
Mug
Give the entrepreneur in your life the gift of repping their company whilst consuming bean water. It’s a joy!
Phone Case
This is a great gift for anyone who does content creation.
Water Bottle
I could always use the extra encouragement to stay hydrated and nothing is as encouraging as my brainchild (my business).
Notepad
I recently found some of my great grandfathers letterhead and it made me realize what a cool thing notepads are. I have a handful of sticky notes and random notes around me. Writing on a notepad adorned with their creation will keep them inspired.
Pens
One of my favorite things about custom pens is that pens always get lost…. Ok stay with me here. When I lose a custom pen, I think about someone picking it up and heading to my website. I don’t know if the pens every make it past my front door, but this is just my way of rationalizing accidentally misplacing my custom pens.
Home Office
Laptop Stand
Looking down all day sucks. A laptop stand not only turns a laptop into a desktop feel, but it improves posture by keeping the screen at eye level.
Cell Phone Holder
This serves a similar function as the laptop stand. It keeps things off the desk too and helps things feel less cluttered.
Tripod
Two suggestions here! Tripods keep things level and change the game when it comes to creating things on your own.
The first is a universal tripod that is great for shooting things on a camera. If your entrepreneur friend takes their own product photos or records youtube videos, this is a great option.
The second option is the one that I personally use daily. I love how bendy it is so I can prop it on random objects for creating content.
Ring Light
I have mixed feelings about ring lights but most entrepreneurs swear by them. They are AWESOME for product photography. But when I’m shooting my own content, I don’t like to use one because it creates a glare in my glasses. Ring lights are a great gift, but if your giftee wears glasses I would probably ask them if they really want one.
Webcam
Computer webcams have come a long way but that doesn’t mean they are HD by any means. If the entrepreneur you are shopping for does a lot of Zoom meetings or online recordings, a webcam is a great gift.
Keyboard
External keyboards are such a nice gift because they give us more room to spread out. They also go great with the laptop stand (linked above). This particular keyboard comes in several colors too.
Microphone
Audio is more important than video so microphones are super important.
Lavalier mics clip to your person and are wonderful for content creation. I especially like this one because it comes with lots of adapters meaning it will fit most phones.
This pro mic is my top pick for recording podcasts, youtube videos, and more. This microphone has some great settings that allow you to prioritize sound based on the setting.
Headphones
I have weird ears…. I have always had a hard time finding headphones and earbuds that stay in my ears. But then I found these ones. The Galaxy Pro earbuds come with several customizable options. Most headphones have the actual earbud size adjuster but these also come with an ear thing too. I obviously don’t know the technical term, but trust me when I say that these will work for everyone probably. They basically allow you to mold your earbuds to your ears. 10/10.
Amazon Echo Dot
Sometimes I’m hanging out at home, chilling on the couch watching New Girl and an idea or to-do pops into my head. I don’t want to get up or turn on my “business mode”, so I yell “HEY ALEXA, REMIND ME……”. Setting reminders for my Echo Dot to remind me of something the following day allows me to respect my work-life balance and still ensure that nothing falls off my radar.
Office Fireplace Space Heater
This office heater is my personal fave because it’s so cute. I use mine all the time. It puts out a significant amount of heat, is compact, and isn’t an eyesore.
Chargers
With all the tech that we use, chargers are always valuable. I suggest figuring out what devices the entrepreneur in your life uses and buying a backup (or two).
Cell Phone Gimbal
Gimbals are so fun! They keep movement steady so if you’re recording a video it doesn’t look like you were on a rollercoaster when it happened. Cell phone gimbals are great for recording vlog content or even family vacations.
Whiteboard
Who doesn’t need a place to put their ideas? This sleek whiteboard looks nice and is functional.
Canva Subscription
Canva Pro is a lifesaver. Seriously. It helps us churn out impeccable graphics in no time. The pro is definitely worth the money too. The features, additional stock images, and organizational tools that come with an upgraded account are so worth it. This gift has so much meaning because it’s like you’re investing in the business itself.
Photo Box
Whether shooting professional content or just taking videos for stories and reels, this photo box turns amateur content into professional-looking content. I would suggest this to anyone with a product-based business. If they have an Etsy shop, I know they would love this.
Bluelight-Blocking Glasses
I feel a bit like a hypocrite here because I don’t use bluelight-blocking glasses since I wear prescription glasses. That being said, from what I understand, they make a world of difference for some entrepreneurs. The light that we take in from our computers can be harmful to our eyes so these stylish glasses help keep you safe.
Waterproof Notepad
Everyone has their best ideas in the shower, right? Finally capture them with this waterproof notepad and pencil.
Technology
Apple Watch
Apple Watches are great for staying on task because they allow you to be in the know without diving into the rabbit hole of our phone’s social media and emails and apps and you get the point.
Sun Lamp
Many of us spend the majority of our time inside. Sun Lamps help with depression, SAD, and more by imitating sunlight.
Camera
This vlogging camera is great for creating content because it has a screen so you can see yourself. This allows you to ensure that everything in the frame looks right. Pair this with a gimbal and you are ready to vlog to your heart’s content.
