The holidays are the perfect time to show a lil’ extra appreciation for the business owners, clients and team members in your life who keep things moving all year long. But finding the right gift can be tricky. You want something thoughtful, useful and inspiring (without slipping into kitsch or cliché territory). That’s where we come in.
At The Found Gen, we know what makes business owners tick (besides coffee, of course). So, we’ve rounded up our favorite gifts that hit the sweet spot between practical and personal, because don’t we all deserve a little joy this season?
Gift Guide Round Up for Business Owners
Here are some ideas to get you started on your holiday shopping spree.
- Desk upgrades that spark productivity – Give their workspace a glow-up. Think personalized stationery, desk accessories or a leather-bound folio. Bonus points for gifts that make their daily grind just a bit more beautiful. Both Leatherology and Pottery Barn have some classic and classy office accessories that will elevate any workspace.
- Tech to drive efficiency – Help them stay one step ahead of the curve with tools that make work easier: a sleek wireless charging pad, noise-canceling headphones, an ergonomic mouse or HD webcam. Still not sure what would strike a chord? Think about the tools and tech you love most and pay it forward. Chances are good that if you love it, they’ll love it, too!
- Gifts of self-care – Running a business is no small feat, and every entrepreneur deserves a moment to recharge. Consider gifts like a mindfulness journal, a local spa gift card, calming candle or a cozy subscription box (think coffee, candles or gourmet snacks).
- Books that inspire big ideas – For the business owner who’s always learning, a well-chosen book can go a long way (and when you pair it with a handwritten note, the gift will go twice as far). For inspo on what to give, check out HBR’s list of 40 best business books to read.
- Gifts that give back – From sustainable office supplies to products from other small businesses, giving thoughtfully reflects your own brand values and supports others chasing their entrepreneurial dreams.
