2021 Holiday Gift Guide for Entrepreneurs

It’s that time of year again! And we’ve got gift ideas for all of the freelancers, small business owners, and entrepreneurs in your life. Whether it’s something for your business bestie, clients, or even, ahem, yourself, here are some of our favorites!

For The Home Office

  • Paperage Lined Journal Notebook - These hard cover 5.7 X 8 inch journals are perfect for taking notes during client meetings and come in a wide variety of colors ($10)

  • HELPLEX acrylic frame - A great minimal 4x4 inch photo frame that easily opens and closes with magnets. Go ahead and print out a few photos for a personalized gift. ($16 for 2)

  • Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Gooseneck Kettle - A splurge, but this one gets a ton of use at our house. Boils water reeeeaally fast and is amazing for tea and pour over coffee. Plus it looks great on the counter top. ($159)

  • Bonsenkitchen Electric Milk Frother - This tiny but mighty frother gets used every morning to whisk my collagen powder, monkfruit, and dairy-free creamer with coffee for a tasty homemade latte. Also works for Bulletproof coffee, matcha, hot chocolate, and more. ($11)

  • Natural Craft Seagrass Belly Basket - We love these for wrangling blankets, slippers, and other random home office items, as well as a pretty container for an unkillable office plant ($11)

  • Women’s Slippers - These plush slippers are warm and have anti-slip grips on the bottom so you can let the dog out or check the mail no matter the weather ($24)

  • EYOCEAN LED Clip on Light Reading Light - This USB light can clip to your monitor and act as a small ring light for Zoom meetings or provide some extra office lighting in the evenings. It has three modes and 10 dimming options. ($20)

  • USB Charger USB Charging Station - Charge up to 10 devices at once! I keep this rapid charger on my desk to keep all of the charging cords neatly organized in one place. ($20)

  • Portable Light Box - Make your product photography look clean and professional with this foldable 13"x10" light tent. Comes with 2 backgrounds (white, black) for small size products. ($37)

Feel Good Gifts

  • Street Business School - Support a poverty-eradication, global training organization that prepares NGOs, agencies, etc. to deliver a proven 6 month business-training program in their communities. This program empowers people living in poverty to become confident, self-sustaining entrepreneurs. (donate any amount!)

  • Tuba City Humane Society - Make a donation in someone’s name to this all-volunteer group helping animals in need on the western Navajo Nation (donate any amount!)

  • Lotto Love - Give the game that makes everyone a winner! The Basic Needs card was designed to support those who lack access to the basic necessities in life. Your purchase helps people around the world to get water, solar light, food, and literacy tools. (starting at $20)

  • Citizen Advocacy - Help support a diverse community-based organization that has over 40 years of experience creating and supporting relationships between an ordinary citizen who is living a “good life” and a person with a developmental disability who is vulnerable to isolation or exploitation. (donate any amount!)

  • Another favorite is to find a local store or business that has an angel tree! We love shopping for foster children or other kids in need of a little holiday cheer each season.

The Best Books

Unique Finds

  • Union Market Mankato - This Minnesota marketplace is launching their online store and has so many cute gifts—candles, stickers, cocktail mixes, original artwork, vintage finds and more!

  • 1000 Piece Personalized Custom Photo Jigsaw Puzzle - Who wouldn’t love to see a photo of their business or employees on a custom 20x28 inch jigsaw puzzle? ($40)
